Bridgetown is a part of Totnes in Devon. It is divided from Totnes itself by the River Dart, and came into existence as a result of the first bridge being built across the river at Totnes. The river is in a valley, with Bridgetown on the eastern slope opposite Totnes.
The Dart becomes tidal around the bridge here.
There is a church in Bridgetown, a village hall, two large grassy play areas, a dental surgery, a farm, a butcher, two small corner shops, a Chinese takeaway, one public house, which includes its own brewery, longmarsh a riverside walk also used for military training, a rowing club, a caravan park and a vet.
