I wasn't too sure what to expect - and at the price my expectations weren't all that high. However I was pleasantly surprised. The museum is bigger than expected, and recounts the history from its founding through to more modern times. It housed a number of different categories of people including conscientious objectors.
There are contemporary records of notable escapes (although given its location I'm not sure escape was necessarily a better option!).
I enjoyed the visit and as some areas are still being developed, look forward to a return visit.

Having been to other prison museums, I wasn’t expecting this museum to be entirely separate from the actual prison. Nevertheless, we passed a pleasant hour here looking at the artefacts and you can’t argue with the low admission fee.

It doesn’t look too impressive from outside but it has a mass of information and artefacts inside. As part of a group we were given a short history of the prison and this really helped to interpret what was in the museum. They have some fascinating exhibits but the general visitor may find it difficult to navigate, but persevere, it’s telling an important story. There is no cafe, and only portaloo toilets, but the museum is well worth a visit.

This tiny museum is packed with information about Dartmoor Prison and will take a surprisingly long time to absorb. Very welcoming staff. Extremely reasonable rates.

The museum is very authentic, situated in a former prison building.
It recounts the history of the prison and those who were housed in it from the early 1800’s to the present day.
It was fascinating to read accounts from prisoners and to discover how they spent their time during their rehabilitation. Model making was popular.
Exhibits also include the many ingenious ways in which goods are smuggled into the prison and weapons that had been made by the prisoners and confiscated.
The photos displayed brought stories to life
It also explores the human impact on the lives of the families of prisoners and the interventions in place to help the entire family.
Reasonably priced and well worth a visit!

Mediocre, not sure what I was expecting; perhaps for there to be more information on past inmates, their stories, escape attempts. Not expensive (£4 each to get in) but we had travelled quite a distance to get there so felt a bit underwhelmed.

Well worth a visit, excellent value for money, to get the most out of your visit it’s worth taking the time to read all the literature around the walls and watch the videos, really interesting history of Dartmoor prison and some of its stories!

Is it any good for people with limited mobility as I would like to take my grandad
Escrita el 19 de agosto de 2018
We have an access ramp to the museum itself and 80% of the museum is on one floor with plenty of room for mobility scooters or wheeled walkers. Unfortunately toilets are downstairs but can be reached via wide stone steps with handrail.

Why is there no cafe at the museum? This would make visitors feel more welcome and increase income to then be spent on updating the museum. There is nowhere for visitors to relax at this end of the village, because of this, many visitors (especially the elderly and very young) will be put off the walk to the other end of the village.

What is the road like between Plymouth and Princetown.? I will be travelling in September.
Escrita el 27 de febrero de 2016
My initial answer would have been to look at the map and work it out yourself but we did experience some "interesting" conditions within the park this winter. Road by the prison was truly awash and best taken carefully. Many other dips had become fords. Some in and around the park were impassable to low slung sports cars. There was also a dead cow in the road so you just need to take care. If you were walking the moors you'd probably accept the routes "as are" and look more closely at the weather forecast. I reckon on the same approach for driving. Cayenne took it all in it's stride; BMW Z4 wouldn't have stood a chance. "Be Prepared" has been around as a motto for 109 years and is possibly most relevant for people who really want to explore places like Dartmoor!
