HFF ~ Bideford, Devon.
Bideford Long Bridge in North Devon spans the River Torridge. It is one of the longest mediaeval bridges in England, being 677 feet (206.35m) long with 24 arches. In 1790 the bridge was the longest in Devon. It remained the furthest downstream bridge on the river until 1987, when the Torridge A39 Road Bridge was built a mile or so further downstream.

Rosalyn Hilborne club has replied to Keith Burton club
Thank you very much Keith. I have been to Stourhead today, which is looking very autumnal. There were a lot of people there though. I hope you enjoy your visit to Petworth tomorrow, and I hope you find some deer. I have many ornaments and pictures around the house of deer....must be something to do with my maiden name :-)

Take care and have a good day tomorrow. The forecast sounded good!

HFF Rosa. I once got stuck under this bridge in a sailing dinghy as the tide proved to be strong than the wind, the mast was bowing to a crazy shape when luckily a rescue boat towed us off.

I was stationed at Fremington at the time and had sailed up to Bideford from Instow where we used to keep up DUKWs

Buena fotografía del hermoso puente medieval con muelle y valla protectora y el pueblo asentado en una ribera. El río es navegable, al menos a una parte del puente, supongo.
El cielo también tiene su protagonismo, en este caso con aspecto amenazante. HFF, buen fin de semana y cuidaros.

This reflection is a pure wonder. It reveals with purity, in combination with the beautiful PiP, a ravishing landscape and glorious light contrasts. An endless bridge, indeed, whose irregularity is a sign of its advanced age, but also one that does not inspire too much confidence :-))
Happy Sunday to you again, Rosalyn, and thank you for your always pleasant visits.
2 years ago.
Rosalyn Hilborne club has replied to Eric Desjours club
I remember my first ever visit to Bideford in the 1970's when this old bridge was the only route. Now of course, there is a big new, high bridge, but it cannot beat this old one for beauty.
Many thanks for your kind comments Eric.
