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.
