A fabulous clapper bridge which has since been converted to allow light vehicles to cross over the River Meavy. We learn from Paul Rendell (2023) that: “It became a listed building on 28th October 1987. The bridge has two openings and a massive parapet of stone clamped together with irons which once served the ancient farms of Leathertor, Riddipit and Nosworthy. According to a Walkhampton Parish Council meeting, it was built in 1833 and the job was priced at £26.10s. but it did not appear on the 1840 Walkhampton Tithe Map.“
