Two Bridges

Two Bridges is an isolated location in the heart of Dartmoor National Park in Devon, England. It is situated around 2.5 km north east of Princetown on the old turnpike road which was built across Dartmoor in the late 18th century (now known as the B3212). 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.
