The local area

Retirement living in Ivybridge, Devon

Ivybridge, Devon, has an enviable position, surrounded by wild moorland and lush countryside, yet close to the coast. The town’s name comes from the ivy covered bridge which crosses the River Erme, which once powered the town’s iconic paper mill.

For a small town, Ivybridge has a wealth of amenities, from the Watermark—an arts centre, cinema, cafe and theatre — to supermarkets, a Boots pharmacy, a library and a range of independent shops, characterful pubs and popular restaurants. A ten minute walk from our properties for sale in Ivybridge, you’ll find Glanvilles Mill Shopping Centre, which has everything you need including opticians, hairdressers, a florist and a bookshop, as well as bars, riverside cafes and the Ivybridge Brewery.

The town has a plethora of leisure activities available, from Ivybridge Leisure Centre to the bowling club, the tennis centre, the golf club or Filham Park Lake for a spot of fishing. There are plenty of walking and cycling trails in and around the town too, whether you fancy a riverside stroll along the banks of the River Erme, tranquil rambles through the Longtimber Woods or a trip up to West Beacon for spectacular views. Ivybridge is also known as the gateway to the Dartmoor National Park with its famous wild ponies.
