About Two Bridges

The rugged beauty of Dartmoor National Park forms the dramatic backdrop to Two Bridges. It lies 12.4 km east of Tavistock (from Tavistock: bearing 86°T, OS grid SX 606 749), and is situated north-east of Princetown village. Historically, this remote hamlet has served as a vital crossing point over the West Dart River, a role reflected in its name. The landscape around Two Bridges is characterised by open moorland, crisscrossed by ancient tracks and dotted with granite tors. Agriculture, particularly sheep farming, has long been a cornerstone of the local economy, with the hardy breeds well-suited to the challenging environment. While Two Bridges itself lacks grand structures, its proximity to Princetown offers access to amenities and the historic Dartmoor Prison. The enduring spirit of the moorland is palpable in this quiet corner of West Devon.
