Ockery Bridge

Hundreds of people will pass by this bridge every day and probably not know its there, I was one of them until around 2012. Ockery Clapper Bridge can be found just off the B3212 road between Princetown and Two Bridges. It spans the Blackbrook River just like its road based counterpart and is a shorter version of the more popular Postbridge Clapper Bridge. There are parking spots either side of the road bridge so you can walk down and look at this little piece of Dartmoor history. Also named Oakery Bridge on lots of maps and websites.
