Merrivale (English Heritage), Merrivale, Dartmoor National Park

If time's restricted and you want to discover Dartmoor's internationally important prehistory then head for Merrivale. Stone rows, cairns, hut circles, cists, a standing stone and a stone circle are packed into a small area of moorland between Princetown and Tavistock on the western side of Dartmoor National Park.

The B3357 skirts the prehistoric site. Two car parking areas provide very easy access. The two main stone rows are particularly impressive. Browse through the photos in the gallery to get a sense of their size and setting.

We've positioned Merrivale on Google maps. Zoom in on the 'Satellite' setting to see its location. The two car parking areas by the B3357 are clearly visible on that satellite imagery. The car parking area to the east is known as Four Winds. The car parking area to the west is near The Dartmoor Inn.
