Tower Tours of St Michael and All Angels, Princetown

The church of St Michael and All Angels sits on top of Dartmoor and has a fascinating history. It was built in 1812 by American and French prisoners of war when they were held captive at Dartmoor prison. The tower has been recently renovated and this is an opportunity to climb up to the second floor and view the church, and surrounding countryside, from high up.

Refreshments (tea, coffee and cake) will be available by donation.

We want everyone to be safe and enjoy the tour so please note the following:

- The tower tours will take visitors up the inside of the tower, looking out at the churchyard, nave and views and not out onto the roof, as it is unsafe.

- This tour is only suitable for those over 11 due to the heights of barriers.

- The tours are not bookable so just turn up and we’ll take people up in groups.

- The tour involves climbing a spiral staircase. The staircase has a handrail but is open so not suitable for those uncomfortable with heights.
