Brilliant visit this and well worth the visit. Cornish history and heritage being preserved here. Photos make the visit, a view into the past

The collection may not be huge but is very interesting. We learned a lot and most of all enjoyed that dogs are allowed in the museum.
Dennis B — Google review
Turned up at just before 3pm. Google says closes at 430p Door says closes at 4pm. Lights were turned off and we felt the hint to leave at 345p as the worker was out the door and off on his motorbike by 350p after not wanting to sell any merchandise by advising register already off. Arrive earlier and would be a nice prison museum
Ty ( — Google review
A great insight into part of the prison life, a great display of items and costumes. There was a fantastic display of prisoners work. There was a lower section but requires stairs to access. There was a small selection of items to purchase. Car park was adequate, card only no cash. It was relatively busy when we arrived but they said it often is when it's raining. Photo also shows the entrance as SatNav may not be accurate

Interesting. Good views of the prison too. When you see the contraband it makes you think too. Some great craft stuff too ie matchbox makes and origami models

A great place to visit. Free to enter (donation points dotted around or you can donate at the till). Shop was good, and relevant items on sale which was nice. But the main point was all the displays on local (ie Dartmoor) history and wildlife. Plenty of interactive activities for kids and adults alike. All in all a great resource for Dartmoor and Princetown
Andy E — Google review
This is the best visitors center on Dartmoor. Staff are friendly and helpful. The shop is full of interesting info of the moor and plenty of walking in the area. Its a shame it will close next week.

101% recommend, very informative, excellent displays and its all free!Includes ancient history of Dartmoor, including geology. Current special display Dartmoor in the 1920's, fascinating because that's when my parents were growing up in the area.
Amanda — Google review
Take a map. You can see lots from the road on the way up to Princetown. There is so much history here and there is so much to see on some of the circular walks. A map is advised and good walking boots/ shoes but we did it in trainers and in the height of summer and was lucky only to find one marginally boggy area. A lovely aquaduct going down with an impressive constant flow of water! We said the next walk we'd like to climb up and see where it's all coming from!!we were blessed with good weather on this occasion but the weather can turn so quickly up here so make sure you're prepared for whatever it might throw at you. It's a wonderful place to have a walk with family!!

Great place to find out some history of the moors. Plenty of books on the subject to buy. Friendly staff. Visited again 12.09.25 additional photography exhibition of pictures of Dartmoor, shot by Dartmoor employees which was good to look round.

We love Dartmoor and although we’ve been across the area quite often, we learned some interesting things about the nature and stories during our visit today. Entrance is free, and you can buy some nice things for your loved ones at home or just for yourself to remember your time in Dartmoor!

A delightful stopping place for a picnic, a paddle and some very old history. Perfect. And don't forget to purchase something from the local shop.
William G — Google review
It is quite beautiful, old bridge. It is very short walk from the car park at the visitor center. There is a shop just opposite the bridge. There is nothing else to do in the area. So, one may spend 15-20 mins for the bridge.
Vrukesh P — Google review
Don't go here expecting a really intense experience. It is a late medieval bridge in gorgeous countryside. It is an interesting site to visit and walk over, to marvel at the manipulation of huge stone slabs onto dressed stone piers. It is a place to sit in the sun on the banks and watch water gurgle happily by. It is for some a place to fish. It does not offer more than this. Some really nice walks from the bridge locally and a visitor centre nearby that makes little mention of the site focused instead on the moor more generally. If this sounds like fun, then you will really enjoy this experience.

Great facilities, picturesque place.
Lenka H — Google review
It's a nice place to visit. Lovely quiet place with a beautiful background. There are 2 bridges one is modern and the other is the old one.
Vaibhav P — Google review
A medieval bridge made from 3 large slabs of granite called clappers. It’s much larger in person than it looks on the photos. It’s alongside the more modern road bridge spanning the same river from where you can take a good photo of the clapper bridge. There are steps up and it can get slippery when wet. Not really wheelchair/pushchair accessible.
Chris G — Google review
Fantastic place, beautiful walks and so scenic. So much wildlife to see too thanks to the locals and their well stocked bird feeders

Tour of Britain passing through as we were having a hike in this beautiful part of Dartmoor. You can even paddle in the river near the clapper bridge- wonderful to on a very hot sunny day and a host of walks to choose from

A delightful place to visit, a steady walk up there, but the access to the quarry can be a bit challenging. There are some good views from above which I believe is an easier walk but we did the climbing one. The parking is for about 8-10 cars, although there is another one a little way down the road and I don't know how difficult the walk would be from there.
Danny W — Google review
Beautiful place to visit with breathtaking views. The reviews about the peace and quiet is spot on!! The trail to the Quarry is very accessible and suitable for a buggy but to get near the quarry and to the water you do need to climb and clamber a lot. There were a lot of cattle, sheep and ponies along the way. Sadly the leeches were out in force so I restrained from a dip- as tempting as it looked. The dog went in though!
Bethany S — Google review
Hiking, dog walking, walking, runing. Great views. This is hours out side. It's a long walk there. 1 -2 hour+ We where there 5 hours. I dressing for summer, in the end of September. Got to wrong! I was freezing on the walk back to the car. 1 hour walk. Dressing correctly, it's very important. The weather can change, summer and sunny weather is fine. Stick to the paths, do not get lost!!. Winter and in the dark is not advied!! Google maps are amazing!!

The views at this spot in Dartmoor are absolutely incredible – an endless, stunning landscape. The quarry is fascinating, with its rock formations and beautiful pond. It's an easy and pleasant trek, perfect for everyone. The peace and quiet, along with the gentle breeze, make it a truly relaxing experience.
Abins A — Google review
Fantastic place with amazing views. If you walk here, you will see plenty along the way, and if you are an avid hiker you can make your way to some nearby Tors and include the quarry within the walk. Inside it is very echoey and just stunning to see how the lake looks up close. Highly recommend staying for a break and really taking it in, we loved it here.
Learna G — Google review
Easy and enjoyable track with a spectacular quarry to reward you at the end of the trail. Lots of cows, horses and sheep to greet you on the way. The trails loop all around the quarry and down to the water allowing you to properly explore the area. Note: like with many places in Dartmoor, Google maps give you the wrong starting point for the trail. The parking is about a mile from where the maps suggest you can drive up to.
Andrii K — Google review
A stunning man-made natural spot. There are great views from the top of the quarry which is inviting to wild swimming. The water ain't as cold as it looks like in summer.

Marvellous man made creation which has been taken over by nature. The beautiful cliff is best to relax and one can also have a swim.

Glimpse Into Dartmoor's Historic Church⛪️ Just a short drive from Plymouth, you'll discover St Michael and All Angels Church in Princetown, Devon. Step back in time with this stunning 19th-century architectural masterpiece, built by prisoners of war. The church features stunning stained glass windows and an atmosphere steeped in history 🕊️. Overlooking the open moorland, its serene and picturesque setting adds to its timeless charm. On our recent visit to Dartmoor, The church’s open doors enabled us to explore the rich history preserved within these walls. It’s sad story alone sparks curiosity and admiration. If you ever find yourself in Princetown, this historic church is worth a visit! After our visit, we enjoyed a cozy lunch at the nearby old police station cafe. #HistoricChurch #DartmoorHeritage

Lovely church and graveyard not far from Dartmoor Prison. There are some prisoners' graves here and at least one ex Governor of the Prison. It was built by prisoners of war. Worth a visit.
Nicola G — Google review
Fantastic church it was open when I was there. Really nice place to seat down and have a quiet five minutes all to yourself. Really pretty place. If you go to Princetown pop in and have a look it's really worthwhile.
Jonathan C — Google review
Well it was summer so obviously it was freezing cold and a bitter wind blowing ice cold rain that added to the misery. Alone in the church I could hear someone hammering and walking on boards that echoed , I then thought no scaffolding and in this weather up on that roof , dangerous or what , but they carried on banging and walking. I thought I'd go and see who this madman was so walked around the church but not a soul anywhere so went back in the church to nothing but dead silence. I can only do what Sherlock Holmes done, eliminate the impossible and what remains must be the truth. So, noisy workman who wasn't there, what remains? O my god I've just heard a spook, a man working with hammer and in hob nailed boots, I wonder how many others have heard this keen worker, God bless that man.

Loads of history about how built and the mishaps it has endured. Supported by American Women's group which still has strong links today. Graveyard has locals and prisoners buried. Not currently used but open to the public every day to help support it's upkeep.
