This delightful little bridge is slightly hidden away but is well worth seeking out. It's a medieval packhorse bridge and spans the pretty Winn Brook in the village of Winsford. These packhorse bridges are dotted all over Devon, particularly in Exmoor and Dartmoor, and their modest size is quite amazing.
