Horrabridge Bridge

Horrabridge is a stone bridge crossing the West Dart River, a key crossing point on routes through central Dartmoor. Its Grade I listing reflects its historical significance and architectural quality. The bridge's design and construction suggest medieval origins, though it has been repaired and rebuilt over centuries as river crossings on Dartmoor demand.

Today the bridge carries traffic across the river at the village of Horrabridge. Its solid stonework is characteristic of moorland bridges built to withstand the river's seasonal strength. The site is accessible to walkers and drivers, and forms part of the landscape of routes that have connected Dartmoor's communities and linked the moor to the towns beyond.
