This solitary cottage and the bridge over the River Lydden in the far distance beyond, are the only features which mark this spot just south of Lydlinch.

House near Warr Bridge

I hesitate to describe this substantial property as a former Toll House, as it seems far too large, yet its architectural style suggests that it might have been at one time. The view is towards the north on the main A357 to Shepton Mallet, at its junction with the minor road to Stourton Caundle.
