Ivybridge is a historic town situated at the southern edge of Dartmoor National Park in Devon, blending scenic countryside with a practical location for commuting. Often referred to as the "Gateway to Dartmoor," Ivybridge is well known for its beautiful natural landscape, centred around the River Erme and the iconic 13th-century stone bridge that gives the town its name. The town originally developed around milling and papermaking industries, and remnants of this industrial heritage remain visible in the characterful architecture and mill buildings dotted throughout the area.
