Dedicated to studying Dartmoor’s unique tin mining heritage.
The DTRG has a full programme of field trips planned, visiting sites of particular interest of research. These trips provide an invaluable way of gaining knowledge and accurate site assessments. Trips are assisted by members with key expertise in certain areas.
When required, DTRG members carry out surveys of tinworking sites to produce detailed maps for research. These maps are an invaluable resource to any study of Dartmoor’s tin.
The DTRG produces interpretations of its work as booklets, formal displays and exhibitions, such as the Brimpts Trails Display Room, partly funded by DNPA.
Not only does the DTRG document and research tinworking sites all over Dartmoor, it helps preserve them too. Areas are cleared so that a site can be studied by all.
