Holne Bridge

Devon

Holne Bridge carries a minor road across the River Dart near the village of Holne, deep in Dartmoor's landscape. The bridge is likely medieval in date, though it may have been rebuilt or substantially repaired in later centuries, as was common with structures crossing the moor's rivers. Its stone construction reflects the practical building traditions of the area.

Today the bridge remains in use, forming part of the local route network. It stands as one of many modest but enduring crossings that have shaped settlement and movement on Dartmoor for centuries. The river here flows through moorland and woodland, and the bridge itself offers a stopping point for walkers exploring this quiet corner of the moor.
