Princetown, England - Definition and Overview |
|
|
Princetown is a town situated on Dartmoor in the county of Devon in England. It is the site of the notorious Dartmoor Prison. It is the highest town on the moor, and one of the highest towns in the whole country. The branch railway to the town, closed in 1956, was the higest railway line in England, its Princetown terminus being 435 metres above sea level.
A lane (Tor Royal Lane) leads down from the town to the site of the disused Whiteworks tin mine, which overlooks Foxtor Mires, the presumed site of the Grimpen Mire to be found in Arthur Conan Doyle's tale The Hound of the Baskervilles.
