Straddling the River Tamar and marking the border or Devon and Cornwall, Horse Bridge, in the hamlet of Horsebridge, was built in 1437. It's one of many similar bridges in the South West and is in particularly good shape, continuing as a road bridge.

Find a pub on the Devon side in the north of the hamlet and enjoy the stunning views of the river from the bridge's refuges.

The Tamar River marks the boundary between Devon & Cornwall and this medieval bridge spanning the two counties was reportedly built by Benedictine Monks from local stone.

Horsebridge is the middle of three ancient river crossings, Gunnislake and Greystone comprising the other two.
