DARTMOOR National Park Visitor Centres have received another great honour after their gold accolade in the 2014/15 Devon Tourism Awards.

The centres at Princetown, Postbridge and Haytor have now scooped a silver award at the South West Tourism Excellence Awards in Weston-super-Mare.

A spokesman for Dartmoor National Park Authority said: 'It's a great honour to receive this award amidst strong competition.

'The success of the three centres is due to the hard work of a whole team involved in the background, in terms of displays and exhibitions and the skill and knowledge of information advisors, enabling the visiting public to enjoy the special quality of this wonderful national park.'

More than 150,000 people a year visit these award-winning centres, where children can enjoy dressing up, games and films, while adults can find out more about the Dartmoor story through exhibitions and displays.

The centres also stock the unique Dartmoor range of products as well as books, maps and walks leaflets.

The visitor centre in Princetown is the national park's flagship centre where you can learn about the Dartmoor story, be inspired by the fantastic Dartmoor Timelapse film, find out about Sherlock Holmes and the Hound of the Baskervilles and the author's connections with the building, while children enjoy dressing up, sitting in the Junior Ranger Land Rover, exploring the fun zone and watching the Hairy Hands film in the 'spooky' cinema.

If you are interested in finding out more about why Dartmoor is one of the most important places for Bronze Age archaeology in Western Europe, then visit the National Park Visitor Centre at Postbridge.

The whole family will enjoy the fascinating exhibition on life in the Bronze Age with genuine prehistoric finds on display as well as replica Bronze Age tools and weapons.

Children can dress up as prehistoric settlers, build a Bronze Age house, complete a Bronze Age quiz and earn their Dartmoor History Hunter's badge.

Haytor Visitor Centre is a great stepping stone to explore the popular Haytor Down area.

Enjoy exploring this timeless landscape with its long history of human settlement — from prehistoric graves to granite quarrying, its wealth of wildlife and its vast open spaces.
