This delightful old stone bridge crosses the infant River Exe about five miles south of Porlock. It carries the minor road from Porlock Hill to Exford over the river about five miles below its source at Exe Head on The Chains. The bridge, like most local bridges, is a substantial structure designed to cope with the weather. The origin of its name is not clear; possibly it was a local name because the approach on the south side is a sharp bend which could be difficult for horse-drawn wagons to negotiate.
