Faulkner, I., 1994, Pack Horse Bridge, Eastacombe, Near Bishop's Tawton, North Devon (Correspondence). SDV351587.

Correspondence concerning a bridge said to have been used by pack horses and associated with the corn mill. The bridge lies a few metres from the Tarka Trail, and could be conserved as an historical feature. The writer is concerned that bridge, which is no longer in use, is overgrown and will fall into ruin.
