Postbridge Clapper Bridge

Highlight • Historical Site

A truly iconic sight on Dartmoor which usually finds itself on the itinerary for most visitors.

There has been a bridge here since the 1300s, possibly earlier. However, the first written record of the bridge only appears from 1655. The bridge's slabs are over four metres long and two metres wide, meaning that a small car can easily pass. Access from the road is no longer possible since the construction of a newer, wider bridge.

Postbridge Clapper Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

This is more a little stop along the way instead of a destination. It has two bridges that are pretty and a little shop. It would be a good starting point to hike onto the moor from as it has parking that has a donation box and allows overnight parking.

The Dartmoor National Park Visitor Centre is a great hub to start a walk from, or visit mid-hike.

There is a car park, public toilets and shop here, stocked with everything from maps to locally produced crafts, as well as a water refill station and lovely, friendly staff. There's also an exhibition with lots to learn for all ages.

Bellever Forest Gravel Roads

Highlight (Segment) • Forest

There are miles of wide, rolling and generally quite smooth fire roads in Bellever Forest to explore. These are bordered by mossy green banks and evergreen plantations, so good for mushroom hunting in the autumn!

If you're planning a short walk, you can find good facilities nearby in Postbridge at the Dartmoor National Park Visitor Centre, including parking, toilets, a shop and water refills. There's also a Forestry Commission car park in Bellever.

Bellever Tor

Highlight • Summit

Fantastic Tor with big views in all directions and cannot be mistaken due to the triangulation point on its highest outcrop.

I almost always hike in from the North, coming from Postbridge which is a nice steady climb all the way to the base of this beautiful Tor.

Also to be noted that the nice wide path allows pushchairs and I myself have pushed my 4 yo to the top of Bellever Tor so we could play on these rocks together.

Two Bridges Stone Bridge

Highlight • Viewpoint

Two Bridges is an isolated location in the heart of Dartmoor National Park in Devon, England. It is situated around 2.5 km (1.6 mi) north east of Princetown on the old turnpike road which was built across Dartmoor in the late 18th century.

View of Littaford Tor

Highlight • Natural

From the footpath between Wistman's Wood and Two Bridges there is a great view of Littaford Tor. It forms part of the ridge between Cockern Tor and Longaford Tor.

Wistman's Wood

Highlight • Forest

Wistman’s Wood is like a fairytale scene. Nestling in a moorland cleft, the atmospheric dwarf oak woodland is filled with jumbled boulders and everything is covered in thick and otherworldly moss. Ghostly green drapes hang from the trees and serpentine roots tangle together dramatically. Any moment you could imagine a fairy flying past. Most likely a leftover from the ancient forest that covered Dartmoor around 7000 BC, the eerie and enchanting woodland is a genuine journey back in time.

Due to the large boulders and twisted roots, there is no path per se and you will need to be game for a little scrambling. Once inside, the all-consuming air of magic and wonder is undeniable.
