Nice museum and shop. The car park is sizable and points you in the direction of many local attractions well. A great place to park up for the day while you go adventuring.
Two super kind women working here gave me some great advice on how to avoid death by cow. Patient as I sat around using their wifi to finish some work before I carried on my hike. I heard them give great advice to loads of other guests too.nnThe exhibition itself is fine for kids but a bit ropey for anyone else unless you are SERIOUSLY into the bronze age.nnBellever Tor nearby is a fairly short walk and has gorgeous views if it's clear.nnBut I wouldn't expect too much from the walk through Bellever 'forest' nearby - it's a fairly ugly Forestry England commercial plantation. Aside from literally having a bunch of trees, it doesn't have any of the other atmosphere or biodiversity of natural woodland, and they are so densely packed it can feel almost stuffy as you walk up the incline towards the tor. Try Piles Copse, Lustleigh Cleave or Wistmans Wood for some gorg tree action instead.
Visitor centre itself was really good and informative about the Bronze Age and the people on Dartmoor that lived there, some interactive parts for the children as well. However the toilets were a bit of a dive, I took my 7 year old son into the men’s at 11am and his first words were ‘dad it stinks of wee in here’. My partner came out of the female toilets and said there was sanitary products on the floor as the bins were overflowing. Not great at 11 in the morning considering the cheapest you can park there for is £3.20.
After a 7-day holiday in Cornwall, we moved on to Tavistock in Devon. From there we visited Dartmoor National Park.nIn the car parks in Cornwall we also had to pay everywhere for the time we stayed.nBut in Dartmoor National Park, we had to pay for a predefined minimum parking time practically everywhere we parked. Even if we only wanted to stop for a short walk, a few photos and a drink, we were sometimes expected to pay for 3 hours. That's a rip-off and absolutely not fair.
Friendly welcome and great exhibition on the early peoples of the moor. Small selection of gifts. Good size car park - shame it charges. Good toilets and great place to start walks from. The clapper bridge nearby is very special and there is a nice, useful little shop next door too.
