In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Newbridge like this:
NEWBRIDGE, a romantic spot in the E of Dartmouth, Devon; on the river Dart, 7½ miles N W of Ashburton. A bridge, from which it takes its name, is a picturesque structure, clothed with ivy; and the adjacent parts of the vale are deep ravine, flanked withschistose wooded crags.
Newbridge is now part of SOUTH HAMS District. Click here for graphs and data of how SOUTH HAMS has changed over two centuries. For statistics about Newbridge itself, go to Statistics.
