Part of Bovey Tracey →

House of Marbles is an unexpected treasure tucked into the landscape where Dartmoor meets Devon's valleys. What began as a personal obsession with collecting marbles has grown into a fascinating museum and working marble factory, where you can see craftspeople still producing hand-made marbles using traditional methods alongside modern techniques.

The collection spans centuries of marble-making history, from ancient games to contemporary pieces. Housed in characterful stone buildings, the attraction captures something of Dartmoor's spirit, a place where old crafts persist and small passions can take root. Whether you're drawn by nostalgia, craftsmanship, or simply curiosity, it's a genuinely different way to spend an hour away from the open moor.
