    This little bridge spans the Exeter Ship Canal and links the foot/cycle path to the Topsham passenger ferry. It's a picturesque lookout for the canal, especially as you look northwards to the old lock cottage (a cafe in summer).

    Swans, herons and ducks can often be seen here and there's a bench to take a rest on and watch the reeds wafting in the breeze.
