Ivybridge is a pretty little town on the edge of the fabulous Dartmoor National Park. In it’s day it has been a staging post for the London coaches and the River Erme has enabled the town to be used for Mills as well.

There were three Mills in Ivybridge, one still survives today, all powered by the constant waters of the River Erme, the elixir of life for the town.

The River Erme is now part of the attraction of Ivybridge flowing through the middle of the town and drawing many tourists to photograph it’s beauty in the heart of the town centre.

Being set in a magnificent edge of moorland tapestry it’s no surprise that Ivybridge attracts many walkers, there are numerous books available both in the town and nationally informing the reader where to start their walks and of the many sights that can be seen during the trip. As well as the moorland walks to the north there are also many excellent walks to the south in the picturesque Erme Valley Trail. Walking enthusiasts will know that Ivybridge marks the start of the Two Moors Way.
