The route book of Devon: a guide for the stranger and tourist. Exeter: Besley, 1846. p. 322.FINGLE BRIDGE, a spot surrounded by scenery of the most magnificent description. The hills on each side rise to an immense height, their acclivities in most instances covered with a rich foliage of copse, except where here and there the rugged face of dark rock protrudes itself. The Teign, confined between these eminences, rushes down at times with great violence. Its ordinary appearance, though dark and rapid, is beautifully clear, shewing its pebbly bottom with great distinctness. A short distance below Fingle bridge, it turns a mill, picturesquely situated on the banks. The stable of the miller-the kitchen and kindly services of the gudewife are always at the disposal of strangers, to the extent of their very limited accommodation. On the very high hills that rise from the river, right and left of the little mill, the remains of two British camps can be distinctly traced. -That of Preston Berry on the left [
]. The other on the right called Cranbrook Castle, [
