The Two Bridges Dartmoor Carriage Ride
Saturday 19th July 2025
This summer, our friends at Devon Shire Carriages invite you to discover Dartmoor as it was meant to be seen - from the comfort and style of a beautiful horse-drawn carriage, starting at theTwo Bridges Hotel.
Step Back in Time
Breathe in fesh Dartmoor air and take in sweeping moorland views as the magnificent Shire horses gently lead you across Dartmoor. Journey from the historic Two Bridges Hotel towards Bellever, passing through landscapes steeped in myth and legend, with vistas of Princetown, Postbridge and Soussons.
Travel in the Hoofprints of History
Departing from the very yard where mail coaches once paused by lantern light, your carriage ride offers a rare chance to experience Dartmoor’s past first-hand. The Two Bridges Hotel, a former 18th-century coaching inn, provides the perfect starting point for this timeless adventure.
Perfect for Romance, Family Days, or Celebrations
Whether you’re marking a special occasion or simply seeking the magic of the moor, your carriage ride promises unforgettable moments and stunning photo opportunities - especially crossing our iconic granite bridge. Along the way, your friendly driver and groom share tales of Dartmoor and its storied coaching heritage.
Renowned for their beautifully turned-out Shire horses and attentive service, Devon Shire Carriages ensures your journey is seamless, authentic, and safe.
