Arching across the River Bovey this medieval packhorse bridge offers a glimpse into Dartmoor's past. Most likely used to travel between Lustleigh and Haytor and Manaton, it is said to be one of Dartmoor's prettiest river crossings. Especially lovely in the summer with the forest in its green splendour.
