Clapper Bridge

Reviewed By 786carolb - Birmingham, United Kingdom

Wednesday 19 August 2020, My husband and I started our day by walking round Postbridge. Postbridge is a small hamlet consisting of a few cottages, a church, a village community hall, ‘The East Dart’ public house, a local village shop and post office. Postbridge is most famous for its stone clapper bridge, probably early Medieval, with three spans of stone 15 feet. The rain had swollen the streams so that they were in full flow and very spectacular so we took lots of photographs of the river and the bridge. The bridge is well worth a visit went you are in the area.

Cadover Bridge

Reviewed By PuravShah - London, United Kingdom

Part of the National trust, Cadover Bridge boasts some amazing scenic views across. There is a lovely stream of shallow water under the bridge, and easily accessible via road, this place is a perfect picnic spot on a hot sunny day or a great place to start hiking. Amazing views from the place, and if you are with kids, they would love to go and play with the clear waters in the stream. If you are walking around, keep an eye out to view the tiny little waterfalls/independant streams around. If not doing much, as long as you're a responsible tourist, fire up the BBQ and enjoy the views and enjoy the picnic. Make sure you clean up nice, for others to enjoy and keep the national trust site natural.
