    Tips

    Cycling

    Dartmeet is named as the meeting point of the two major tributaries of the Dart, the East Dart and West Dart rivers. This has been a crossing point for hundreds of years with the remains of an old clapper bridge near the current road bridge (built in 1792). It's a nice place to stop for a break before tackling the road climbs in either direction.

    Hiking

    Dartmeet is the confluence of the East Dart and the West Dart. It’s a section of the Dart that is shallow, with numerous boulders and stepping stones that are both beautiful and run to hop across if they’re not too slippery.

    You’ll find an old stone bridge here as well as a medieval clapper bridge. This area is chock full of prehistoric stones, evidence of settlements and even a prehistoric field system, so if you’re in the mood for archeological rambling, you’ll be in your element exploring Dartmeet and the immediate area.
