Burrator Discovery Centre, Yelverton, Dartmoor National Park

If you're visiting the Burrator Reservoir area, we'd recommend popping into the Burrator Discovery Centre first. It provides a great introduction to the local area, its history and attractions. There's information about the construction of the reservoir and its two dams in addition to the Princetown Railway, local prehistory, industry and farming. There are loos and inside/outdoor areas in which to sit down.

We've positioned Burrator Discovery Centre on Google maps so zoom in on the 'Satellite' setting to see its location. It's a short stroll from the major car parking areas near Burrator Dam. If you're looking at the Ordnance Survey Explorer OL28 'Dartmoor' map then Burrator Discovery Centre is situated by Burrator Lodge below Yennadon Down.

Note that Burrator Discovery Centre is on the Burrator Reservoir Circular Walk.
