The Pleasure of Shopping Ivybridge Style

Fed-up with busy city centres, queues and parking difficulties? Then come to Ivybridge to rediscover the pleasure of shopping at an unhurried pace in attractive surroundings.

Unlike other South Hams market towns Ivybridge provides a level and compact shopping centre with easy access from a number of car parks (including some free parking provision). The main shopping area is centred on Erme Court, the Glanvilles Mill precinct and Fore Street.

Strolling around this riverside town you will discover a whole host of mainly privately run shops with staff for whom nothing is too much trouble. Ivybridge is a particularly thriving centre for specialist shops offering a range of products from designer wedding gowns to gardening tools and natural therapies to locally produced sausages.
