Postbridge, Devon

Travel Information and nearby accommodation

One of the most popular destinations in Dartmoor National Park, Postbridge is famous for its old medieval clapper bridge, one of the best preserved (and certainly one of the easiest to reach) clapper bridge on Dartmoor. The bridge was built sometime in the medieval period, possibly the 13th century, and is composed of three large granite piers supporting four massive slabs. Postbridge is also a starting point for many of the most popular walking trails on Dartmoor, and there is a seasonal tourist information point providing details about the national park.
