Hiking
This little bridge spans the Exeter Ship Canal and links the foot/cycle path to the Topsham passenger ferry. It's a picturesque lookout for the canal, especially as you look northwards to the old lock cottage (a cafe in summer).
Swans, herons and ducks can often be seen here and there's a bench to take a rest on and watch the reeds wafting in the breeze.

Running
Stunning little spot, sometimes great for a quick stop to drink, snack and take some pictures of the old lock keepers cottage. You can see I popped a really old picture of it in the photos section. The history that we often, run, walk or cycle past is all around us. The ferry runs some time of the year to cross over to Topsham which is a beautiful little village on the opposite side, great connections for running and cycling to Exmouth.
