Tucked away amongst the vast expanses of moorland of Dartmoor National Park, this is a delightful place to explore. The reservoir is surrounded by beautiful forests, heaths and winding rivers where you can swim. There is also varied wildlife such as sheep, wild ponies and birds. You can park at the reservoir, but in summer it is difficult to find a place.

View of Dartmoor Prison

Highlight • Monument

This prison was built in 1806 by French prisoners of war. From 1812, during the Anglo-American War, Americans were imprisoned there. A century later, during the First World War, it became an open prison for conscientious objectors. From 1921, members of the IRA were imprisoned here, including Eamon de Valera, who would later become President of Ireland.

Princetown War Memorial and National Park Visitor Centre

Highlight • Monument

Princetown is a village located within Dartmoor National Park in Devon, England. It is the principal settlement of the civil parish of Dartmoor Forest. The village has its origins in 1785, when Sir Thomas Tyrwhitt, then secretary to the Prince of Wales, leased a large area of moorland from the Duchy of Cornwall estate, hoping to convert it into good farmland. He also proposed that a prison be built on Dartmoor to house the thousands of captives of the Napoleonic Wars and the later War of 1812. The site was given by the Prince of Wales, who held the lands of the Duchy of Cornwall to which the whole moor belonged. This is why the settlement is named Princetown. Princetown is the site of Dartmoor Prison, which was built in 1806 and is still in use today. Princetown is also home to the National Park Visitor Centre, which offers exhibitions and displays about Dartmoor’s history, wildlife and culture.

St Raphael's Church

Highlight • Other

St Raphael’s Chapel is a small church in the hamlet of Huccaby, near Dartmeet, on Dartmoor. It was built in 1868 as a combined chapel and schoolroom, and it has the distinction of being the only Anglican chapel in the country to be dedicated to the Archangel St Raphael. His name means ‘God’s Healing’ or ‘God has healed’ and he is one of the archangels who stood before the throne. He is also known as the patron saint of travellers1. The chapel has a simple interior with old school desks and chalkboards, and a stained glass window depicting St Raphael23. The chapel is part of The Beacon Parishes Mission Community, which includes five churches in the area.

Combestone Tor

Highlight • Viewpoint

Dartmoor is home to more than 160 tors but Combestone Tor is one of the easiest to access by bike and car as the road passes right by. Not only is the tor a fantastically impressive jumble of granite rocks but it also offers tremendous views, particularly along the Dart Valley northwards. The view west is also excellent, with moorland and fields rolling off into the distance.

You can scramble to the top of the rocks if you’ve got steady feet and will often find Dartmoor ponies roaming around the base.
