Ivybridge, known as the "Gateway to South Dartmoor," is located in one of Devon's most beautiful areas and serves as the ideal base for exploring the county's glorious coast and countryside. The Ivy Bridge, which bears the town's name, is a 13th-century structure that was originally built for packhorses and was widened during the age of coach travel. It is now a popular landmark on the town's Heritage Trail, which also includes other notable historical structures, such as a paper mill, which is still Ivybridge's major industrial employer. The aqueduct, now a listed site, and the much photographed remains of a Brunel viaduct are two of the town's most architecturally pleasing sights. This riverside town provides an excellent local shopping experience, with a wide range of independent shops in the compact town centre making browsing a pleasure.
