A letterboxing friend told me that all the Dartmoor pubs have letterbox stamps behind the bar. When I enquired at Shaugh Prior they said they didn't have any?? Is this unusual for a Dartmoor pub and which pubs have the most letterboxes please?

Thats a strange one, they must have got rid of them all then. They used to have a box full behind the bars and they were lovely stamps. Definately all the pubs in Princetown have stamps behind the bars and also the Fox Tor Cafe. You will enjoy a cuppa whilst stamping up that box full. Great way to get started.

If indeed they did have letterboxes but have now got rid that is a real shame because they would probably attract more business to this corner of Dartmoor.

It often depends upon the landlord, Some welcome it, others don't.
Even had on one occasion, whilst visiting a pub for the first time the landlord didn't even know there was a stamp in his pub, and he'd been there for 6 months... no one had asked him. Fortunately for me one of the locals pointed it out to him...
