The Best Attractions In Postbridge

1. Bellever Forest Postbridge
Bellever is a hamlet in Dartmoor, Devon, England. It is located on the river East Dart about 2 kilometres south of Postbridge. The first mention of a settlement at this location is in a Duchy of Cornwall record from 1355 which gives the name of a farm here as Welford, a contraction of wielle and ford. However, in his High Dartmoor , Eric Hemery proposed that the name comes from bal and ford, meaning the mine by the ford. Until the period after World War II the hamlet consisted of Bellever Farm and its outbuildings, with a small number of cottages for the farm workers.

BANKS OF THE RIVER DART (PART 1) COMBE POINT TO DARTMOUTH CASTLE, DARTMOUTH UK.

Combe Point to Dartmouth Castle along the river by boat.
The river begins as two separate branches (the East Dart and West Dart), which join at Dartmeet. The paths along these rivers offer very attractive walking, and there are several small waterfalls. The rivers are crossed by a number of clapper bridges, notably at the hamlet of Postbridge.
After leaving the moor, the Dart flows southwards past Buckfast Abbey and through the towns of Buckfastleigh, Dartington and Totnes. At Totnes, where there is a seventeenth century weir (rebuilt in the 1960s)[citation needed it becomes tidal, and there are no bridges below the town.
The River Dart showing the lower part of the fish ladder near Buckfastleigh.A passenger ferry operates across the river from the village of Dittisham to a point adjacent to the Greenway Estate. Formerly the home of the late crime writer Agatha Christie, this has stunning views across the river, and the house and gardens are now owned by the National Trust and are open to the public.
The Dart estuary is a large ria and is popular for sailing. The village of Kingswear and town of Dartmouth are on the east and west sides of the estuary, and are linked by two vehicle ferries and a passenger ferry. The deep water port of Dartmouth is a sheltered haven.
The entrance to the river from the sea is a rocky entrance with cliffs either side. On the East side Kingswear Castle sits very close to the water's edge, and on the west side Dartmouth Castle is built on a rocky promontory at sea level. The castles once operated a defensive chain across the estuary, which was raised at dusk to destroy enemy ships attempting to attack the harbour. The remains of the operating mechanisms for the chain are still visible in Dartmouth castle.
The river takes its name from a Celtic vague word meaning 'river where oak trees grow' due to the banks of the lower Dart being covered in ancient woods of native oak
