Two Bridges Hotel, Dartmoor

History

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.

In the 18th century, Two Bridges was best known for its potato market. This would have been an open-air market where growers from the Chagford and Moretonhampstead area brought their produce to be sold. The location of this venue could not have been better situated as it gave both producers and buyers access to a convenient convergence of what was then and still is today, the primary roads across the moor. The market appears to have been at its peak around about 1770.
