Although we have driven across Dartmoor many times, we had never stopped at Princetown. We found a parking space and while wandering around, we discovered the visitor centre. What a wonderful find and a wonderful building. There was a shop selling books, locally made things and other goods and a number of exhibition rooms, one featuring Conan Doyle's Hound of the Baskervilles. We particularly liked the photographic exhibition of Dartmoor life, the birdsong quiz and the film about the flora and fauna of Dartmoor. Everything is well laid out and described and there is plenty of room to walk around. There is something to educate children as well as grown-ups. The toilets were spotless, always a good sign of a well-kept visitor centre.

Wonderful walk to here whether from Princetown or along the tavistock rd. The views along the way are great. Lots to explore once there too. You can imagine how busy the quarry was and the people that lived there
5. St Michael and All Angels' Church

Reviewed By 603biancam - Angus, United Kingdom
This was our second visit to St Michael and All Angels and was as interesting as the first visit several years ago. Built by French and American prisoners of war (Napoleonic and 1812), the craftsmanship is breathtaking but to me more breathtaking is this is still an active church and although several 'tourists' came through while we were inside, the sanctity was not disturbed. The churchyard should be visited and plenty of time given to reading the markers.

I loved this little museum! We parked the car in Princetown & walked to the museum, but they do have a free car park. It’s a fascinating insight into the history of Dartmoor Prison, there are hundreds of exhibits, lots of fascinating articles from the old days to recent times & the lady on the ticket desk was very knowledgeable and friendly. I absolutely loved the time I spent there and would go again if I was in the area.
