This area of the Tamar Valley was often visited by the painter, J.M.W Turner, who was fascinated by the area, notably, the area's distinct light. Turner produced numerous studies, sketches and paintings inspired by, and depicting the area, with the most notable one being his 1815 work, "Crossing the brook". In this painting, you can see the bridge of Newbridge, and the stream of the river Tamar. This painting itself is interesting, with a more concrete focus on literal depiction than his later work, yet his devotion to presenting light is still evident.
