(Image: Getty Images) Nestled in the heart of Devon lies the quaint village of Princetown, home to one of the UK's most infamous and eerie prisons - a must-visit for those seeking a unique experience. Perched on the edge of Dartmoor, Princetown is a peaceful hamlet with a population of approximately 1,443 residents, nearly half of whom are inmates at the local prison.
The notorious HM Prison Dartmoor, established in 1809, initially housed Napoleonic prisoners of war, later accommodating American captives in 1812. The prison gained notoriety during the Victorian era, earning a reputation as England's toughest and most stringent correctional facility. function loadOvpScript(){let el=document.
