Exebridge at Exebridge Seen from the beer garden of The Anchor Inn. The three arch stone bridge is thought to be 18th century (but with a bridge in this location since the 14th century) with major repairs in 1853 and 1929. The river is the boundary between Devon (right) and Somerset (left).

The Anchor Inn, Exebridge By the River Exe and the eponymous bridge. The three arch masonry bridge is on the right. This was a quick stop on the way to Dulverton. I believe the pub is just in Devon as the river is the boundary with Somerset.
