Historical Description

Fingle Bridge, a picturesque locality on the NE border of Dartmoor in Devonshire, on the river Teign, 3½ miles NW by N of Moreton Hampstead. The bridge which gives name to it is a narrow, buttressed, picturesque, old structure, resting on rocks and covered with ivy. The adjacent reach of the river, for at least 2 miles, is highly romantic, has banks of precipices and screes, and is flanked or rather enclosed, by lofty hills. The- ancient camp of Preston Berry, with a double rampart, is on the top of a neighbouring eminence.
