Landmark Collection » Clapper Bridge

This is one of the finest examples of a Clapper Bridge straddling, as it does, the East Dart River at Postbridge in Devon. The bridge was constructed in the 13/14 century from four large granite slabs, the largest weighing over 8 tonnes, supported by three granite piers.

This image was taken in the early spring while the trees were still bare. A storm was brewing ready to chase away the sunshine.
