Moor Photography. Land of myths and legends.

Robber's Bridge, another bridge associated with the 'Lorna Doone' novel. It's in what was once "Bandit Country"on the Somerset side of Exmoor just along from the Devon County border at Malmsmead. 

The ford beneath the bridge crosses Weir Water which winds its way down through the valley. It's described as a good picnic spot but I think photographers would prefer not to have that description advertised. It has to be one of the most photographed locations on Exmoor National Park below the bracken laden moorland above, surrounded by ancient woodland, the view enhanced by converging streams, lichen, mosses and old overhanging trees, the colour and light changing throughout the seasons.
