Description
Dartmeet is where the East and West Dart rivers meet on Dartmoor in Devon England. There are two bridges; the clapper bridge, and the current road bridge, built in 1792.
'Clapper bridge' is a term used on Dartmoor for a bridge which has one or more flat slabs of stones which rest on stone piers and thus spans a river or stream. It is possible that the bridge dates back to medieval times. Some of the slabs were washed away in floods in 1826.
