Description
Two Bridges is an isolated location on the river West Dart in the heart of Dartmoor National Park, Devon, England. It is situated around 1.6 mi north east of Princetown at the intersection of the two roads that cross Dartmoor:
A map dated 1765 suggests the origin of the name, for in those days the road crossed both the West Dart and the River Cowsic, just upstream from the point where they meet, and required two separate bridges.
By 1891, these had disappeared and there was just a single bridge, further downstream, over the West Dart. Today, however, there are again two bridges on the site, because a more modern structure has been added alongside its earlier predecessor.
