Fingle Bridge
Fingle Bridge is a 17th-century stone arch bridge over the River Teign. The bridge sits in the base of the deep Teign Gorge, between the ancient hill fort of Prestonbury Castle to the north and Cranbrook Castle to the south on the historic crossing point between the two. In its early years the bridge was an important crossing over the Teign used by packhorses transporting corn and wood products across the gorge. In 1897 the Fingle Bridge Tea Shelter was built on the north landing of the bridge, serving refreshments to the fishermen, tourists and grain carriers of the day. This developed into the Anglers' Rest pub and now known as the Fingle Bridge Inn. (Drewsteignton, England)
