Postbridge with it's famous clapper bridge is in the heart of Dartmoor

Millions of people will recognise this photo of the old granite bridge at Postbridge. We rarely drive past without seeing visitors posing on it or peering down into the waters of the East Dart river flowing beneath. Small wonder that newly married couples sometimes come here to pose for wedding photos. It's a pretty spot with a humped back single track bridge almost alongside which offers a good view of the clapper bridge to coach trippers and passing traffic.


Just over the road is the bijou Post Office which has lots to offer, including hot drinks and ice cream topped off with a blob of delicious Dartmoor made clotted cream. Just the stuff to set you up for a walk up to nearby Bellever Forest and up to Laughter Tor. The area is littered with footpaths and hut circles. Ideal for horse trekking too. A map is a must.


The only Postbridge pub is called the East Dart Inn and is easily found on the eastern side of the humped back bridge.

Postbridge is a great area for taking pictures of the animals of the Moor that are free to roam here. Ponies, sheep and cattle have
a life of grazing and looking good for the visitors.

BUT Please do not feed any of the livestock
as it encourages them to think of vehicles as 'food providers'.

It is much better if the stock are wary of people.
