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! Very friendly and helpful staff. The gentleman at reception went out of his way to help me and advised me on various walking trails, parking and food options. Excellent memorabilia on sale. Clean toilets. Plenty of parking behind the building for a reasonable price. Highly recommended. Great day out great place fantastic staff chocolate tasting taking place yummy 😋 great place to visit Great place to find out some history of the moors. Plenty of books on the subject to buy. Friendly staff. Drove pass, did not visit this time. Free to enter which was great! Spent about half an hour inside as it's quite small (I think there is supposed to be more upstairs but it was closed) but we learned so much about Dartmoor! The gift shop also had a great range of products (including some from local companies) so we'll definitely be back in the future when we want some local gifts! (also I loved this bird so had to add it hahaha) Interesting place, instructive displays, dog-friendly. Nice lady at the cash register explained a little about the National Park and sights and suggested a place to visit on our way. 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!! Very friendly and helpful and your dogs will love them, too. 🐕 And Dartmoor is amazingly good for hiking. Loved the visit, as a family we had so much fun and learned new things from the Moors, staff was very friendly and helpful. Best visitor centre on Dartmoor! Absolutely fantastic. Wonderful staff. I visited an exhibition of local crafts which went ahead although the weather was dreadful. There was story telling, painting, information about the landscape, local crafts. I've heard the centre may close, which would be a travesty. As a solo traveller, they were a great source of information and support.
