Description

The clapper bridge over the East Webburn river is located on the road from Widecombe village to Natsworthy, approximately 130 metres northeast of Wooder Manor. It dates from the early 19th century, or possibly earlier, and is constructed of granite. The bridge is about 4 metres wide and features a series of granite lintels that span two channels, supported by a central pier. This pier is designed with a well-made, sharply-pointed cutwater at each end. The bridge has rubble parapets topped with copings made of roughly dressed boulders. The surface of the bridge is covered with a 20th-century metalled layer.
