Hexworthy (or Huccaby) bridge over West Dart River

Hexworthy (or Huccaby) bridge over West Dart River

This fine bridge crosses the West Dart near Hexworthy. It has three segmental arches, and the middle one has a span of 9 yards. The roadway (carrying travellers from Two Bridges to Buckfastleigh) is 9 feet in width. In 1809, James Green described it as a good bridge built of moorstone, but the arches have probably been rebuilt since then. The photograph was taken in 1914.
