Robber's Bridge, Exmoor

Beeches along the lane to Robber's Bridge.



These days Robber's Bridge is a famous picnic spot, but it gets its name from the days when Exmoor was bandit country.






It's a shame there was no sunlight on the day of my visit - this must be a stunning location for photography when the light is right. But at least I had the bridge to myself, and didn't have to battle legions of professional photographers with their tripods.


Taken at f9, ISO100, one second exposure. I didn't have a tripod, so I put the camera on a convenient rock.

Isn't it a beauty! I made a special detour on my way home just to see it.

It makes for stunning photographs in any light.

It is such a beautiful spot - with the arch of the bridge, and the arc of the beech branches above it. Robber's Bridge probably attracts as many photographers as Corfe Castle. :-)
