Welcome to Postbridge.net
This is a local website for Postbridge, a small village in the centre
of Dartmoor.
It was created for the benefit of people living in the village and the surrounding area but we hope that it will also be of use to anyone planning a visit to Dartmoor.
As we have reached the Winter Solstice it seemed time to change the website to its winter colours. Please note also that the Post Office Stores are running on their winter hours.
This website remains a new venture and is still subject to many changes - even the final article will continue to evolve, depending on the changing needs/events/requirements in Postbridge - and, of course, the input of local people.
Please see important Village Hall meeting here
The Clapper Bridge
It is believed that the famous Clapper Bridge dates back to the 12th century. In heavy rain, the East Dart river can rise very quickly from just a trickle to a raging torrent. The Clapper Bridge has survived many such events and David Cooper, who was just a lad when it was built, remembers all of them ☺
The Post Office Stores
The Postbridge Post Office and Village Store is opposite the famous
Clapper Bridge.
Cream Teas and other refreshments are available from the shop. The
Shop's opening hours are available here
