Public Transport :
The nearest railway station is in Newton Abbot, from where you can get a taxi to Dartmeet (about 30 minutes).  We can put you in touch with a local firm who may be able to arrange to meet you and give a better price than the cabs at the station.
There is a bus service from Newton Abbot to Princetown, stopping at Dartmeet, but it does not operate all year.
