The Fisherman's Cot Pub

Highlight • River

The Fisherman's Cot pub occupies a rather lovely position on the banks of the River Exe and sits opposite the 17th-century Bickleigh Bridge. While the pub is lovely all by itself, it is also famous for something else.

In the 60s, Paul Simon visited and is said to have got his inspiration for the song, 'Bridge Over Troubled Water', after seeing the Exe flow beneath Bickleigh Bridge. Once you know this, it's impossible to cross the bridge without getting the song stuck in your head, as I can attest. Lucky it's a fantastic piece of music.
