Lizwell Bridge
Devon
Lizwell Bridge is a modest stone structure spanning a tributary stream on the open moorland. The bridge's simple construction and name suggest it has origins in the medieval period, built to carry packhorses and pedestrians across difficult terrain. The site sits within the wider network of ancient routes that crisscross Dartmoor, connecting settlements and tin workings across the high ground.
Today the bridge stands largely as it has for centuries, a functional reminder of how people moved through and used the moor in earlier times. Visitors will find it as a modest crossing point in the landscape, best discovered as part of a moorland walk rather than sought out in isolation.
