Dartmoor Souvenirs

From postcards to posters, at Princetown Press we create ephemera to inspire and delight. Seeing a gap in the market for beautiful, locally made keepsakes, we've risen to the challenge. These souvenirs are all created in our letterpress studio in the heart of Dartmoor, just minutes away from the infamous Grimpen Mire (actually, Fox Tor Mire). We use heritage craft letterpress techniques on vintage machines using metal and wood type to create something truly special for you.

Our collection includes:

  • Handmade ink foraged from plants we find in abundance on Dartmoor, including gorse, oak galls, rowan, beech, and hawthorn. Colours are always harvested sustainably, leaving enough for other foragers (especially the Dartmoor critters).
  • Traditional letterpress prints featuring Dartmoor locations and historic tor names.
  • Spiral notebooks perfect for fountain pens, pencil, and ink drawings.
  • Hands-on letterpress workshops where you can create your own stationery, posters, and other printed ephemera.

Everything we make is individually hand-printed using vintage machinery, and moveable type. We take great pride in making our keep-sakes that help connect you to this remarkable national park. Made with care (and usually tea and cake) in our studio at the heart of Dartmoor National Park.
