Okehampton sits on the edge of Dartmoor and serves as a hub for many surrounding villages including North Tawton, Belstone, Bridestowe and Sampford Courtenay.
For businesses based in this part of West Devon, visibility across the local area is essential. Residents often prefer to use nearby businesses they recognise and trust.
Community publications such as Oke Links are designed specifically for these towns and villages. Delivered door‑to‑door, they provide a direct connection between local businesses and local households.
Unlike many forms of digital advertising that reach a scattered audience, local magazines concentrate on a defined geographic community.
Readers pick them up to learn about local events, walks on Dartmoor, heritage stories and community initiatives. Alongside this content they discover local businesses offering services nearby.
For many businesses across Okehampton and the Dartmoor communities, appearing regularly within a trusted local publication helps reinforce familiarity and credibility over time.
When residents eventually need that service, the business name they recognise is often the one they call.
Links Publishing produces seven community magazines including Moor Links, Tavy Links, Oke Links, Plym Links North, Plym Links Central, Plym Links East and Coastal Links, delivered every two months to 70,000 homes across Plymouth, Tavistock, Dartmoor and West Devon. Reaching 168,000 readers
