Plume of Feathers Pub Campsite in Dartmoor

Last summer, I took my son for a hiking holiday across a mix of places in the south west of England. One week, we stopped at a small campsite in Princetown, Dartmoor, south Devon behind the 'Plume of Feathers' Pub.

We had a great time. The campsite was quiet and full of serious hikers and climbers. The Plume of Feathers served good pub-grub and also offered bunk houses incase the weather turned. The site did excellent facilities; access to running water, very lush shower block and a washing up area.

Out through the Pub car-park, on the main road where situated a small row of shops and a few other pubs and tea-shops. A little further up the road we found a tourist information Centre and a Prison Museum.

At the top of the camping field was a small style, over which a foot path stretched out across the moors. After hiking for about 10 minutes, we came across our first Tor. Not too sure on what it was called.
The scenery around the campsite was breathtaking and I will be calling in again. A great place to stay to get away from it all.

Great.
