Postbridge, best known for its fine example of this ancient clapper bridge over the East Dart River. First recorded in the 14th century, the bridge built in the 13th century enabled packhorses to cross the river, carrying tin to the stannary town of Tavistock. The clapper bridge, which is a Grade II listed structure, is still complete, and stands alongside another bridge, a Grade II listed structure built in the 1780s.
