As the name implies Postbridge is known for having one of the best examples of a ‘clapper bridge’ in the country. Believed to date back to Medieval times, the bridge has two central piers spanned by three large granite slabs (known as clappers) and was originally built to allow packhorses to cross the river.
But Postrbridge is also a great destination for adventure lovers, as there are a plethora of cycling and walking routes in nearby Bellever Forest, while more seasoned hikers can start their journey across the north moor here.
Accessible Dartmoor
It’s good to know that if you are less able-bodied you can hire a Tramper and enjoy a 4km (2.5mile) scenic route around the forest and enjoy the panoramic views. Head to Postbridge Visitor Centre.
History lovers, meanwhile, will enjoy the architectural artefacts on display from the Whitehorse Hill excavation in the Visitor Centre or explore the archaeological remains in Bellever Forest, which includes roundhouses, stone rows and a burial cist.
