Best place to be in a heat wave? In a granite house on Dartmoor obviously. No air-con needed.

Another great reason to visit Duchy House!

The Duchy have announced plans to re-open the empty Visitor Centre in Princetown. The building is undergoing an extensive refurbishment, and will be re-opened under the name 'Gather and Moor.'

Gather & Moor is intended to provide a welcoming new space for both the local community and visitors to Dartmoor, while supporting local businesses, makers and the wider economy in Princetown.

Expected to open in July, the space will include a visitor information area, a café serving simple, wholesome food using locally sourced ingredients from across Dartmoor and Devon, and a retail area showcasing makers and products from across the region. It will also include a dedicated ‘Meet the Maker’ space, offering local artists and craftspeople a free rotational space to showcase and sell their work, alongside demonstrations and workshops throughout the year. The first exhibition will feature a display on Wistman’s Wood in partnership with the Dartmoor Trust.

The space is currently undergoing a significant internal refurbishment following the closure of the visitor centre in October 2025, including a complete re-fit of the shop, café, kitchen, visitor information and exhibition spaces.

Emma Magee, Head of Communities and Nature on Dartmoor at the Duchy of Cornwall, said: “This is an extraordinary opportunity for all of us based in Princetown. We are very mindful of the important role the Centre played in supporting the local community and we have been working hard with our partners to create a solution that we hope will provide a boost to the local economy.”
