  • Postbridge Settlement Profile
    Postbridge September 2019 This settlement profile has been prepared by Dartmoor National Park Authority to provide an overview of key information and issues for the settlement. It has been prepared in consultation with Parish/Town Councils and will be updated as necessary. Settlement Profile: Postbridge 1 Introduction Postbridge lies on the road between Two Bridges and Moretonhampstead, 5 miles east of Princetown. It commands a central geographical location within Dartmoor National Park. It is an important destination for visitors to Dartmoor. It hosts a National Park Visitor Centre, a large car park with room for coaches, and is the base for walks into moorland and forest and for viewing the well-known clapper bridge. There is also a youth hostel operating in nearby Bellever. The village name refers to the pack horse bridge (formed of large dimension clapper stones) over the East Dart River close to the main road. The cottages and inns that grew up around the bridge, along with ancient tenements nearby, came together to form the settlement and community. The turnpike road established in the 1790s, and the granite road bridge that was built in 1792, gave added importance to the settlement. There is a limited range of local services and facilities. However, there are pubs, a shop and a village hall, and visitor patronage helps support what is currently on offer Settlement Profile: Postbridge 2 Demographics A summary of key population statistics Age Profile (Census 2011, defined by best-fit Output Area*) Settlement comparison (Census 2011*)

This information will help you to make the right choices for your day out. Nearly half of Dartmoor is registered common land. Under the Dartmoor Commons Act 1985, a right of access was created for persons on foot or horseback. This right extends to those using wheelchairs, powered wheelchairs and mobility scooters, although one should be aware that the natural terrain and gradients may curb access in practice. Common land and other areas of 'access land' are marked on the Ordnance Survey (OS) map, Outdoor Leisure 28.

  • Dartmoor Accommodation List
    Dartmoor Accommodation List Lightweight camping is a traditional way of enjoying Dartmoor's remote areas, and if undertaken sensibly is entirely acceptable. Camping in less remote areas, particularly on roadsides, and bad camping practice anywhere, can cause problems of pollution and reduce the enjoyment of others. Under the Dartmoor Commons Act there is a byelaw designed to permit what is harmless, but control what is potentially damaging. It applies to all common land on Dartmoor (i.e. most of the unenclosed moorland), and this should be taken into account. Please ensure that no more than two teams are camped in any wild location to comply with the National Park’s guidance on low impact camping. The National Park also require locations to be separated by at least 100m and be out of sight of roads. Dartmoor National Park camping advice One of the great advantages of coming to Dartmoor is the wide availability of wild and basic campsites excellent for gold level expeditions, providing isolation and solitude key to a successful expedition. The National Park website has an interactive Camping Map showing where you can, and cannot, legally camp wild. It can be found at: http://www.dartmoor.gov.uk/about-us/about-us-maps/new-camping-map We are very lucky on Dartmoor having 50% of the land within the National Park boundary accessible on foot. Some 32,500 hectares is common land which means that on most of this land you are free to wild camp anywhere (subject to local commons byelaws and firing restrictions). On another 7,000 hectares which was opened up in August 2005 under the Countryside and Public Rights of Way Act 2000, camping could be allowed if the landowner gives you permission.
