Scope and Content
Page, J. L. W. The rivers of Devon. London: Seeley & Co. Ltd., 1893. p. 144.Below Diptford a fisherman's path follows the river along the side of a rocky glen, [
] And so onwards and downwards, now through woodland, now through meadow or plough - and sometimes walking is rough enough - past the little two-arched bridge of Bickham, till the valley closes in, bounded by wooded hills. Set among these is Gara (vernacular Geara) Bridge, one of the prettiest spots on the Avon, from which, in one direction, the road to Modbury winds through the woods, on the other that to Dartmouth.
