Discover Exebridge

Exebridge offers several distinct points of reference for travel planning: fishing at Exe Valley Fishery, routes associated with the village and Exe Bridge over the River Exe. The details differ depending on the topic. For the lakes, these include their size and fishing type; for the Exe Valley Way, its route through Exebridge and the types of paths used most often. The bridge, in turn, is characterised by its type and location. If you are looking for a hotel in Exebridge, these local points of reference can help you decide in advance what to focus on during your trip.

Fishing at two lakes of different sizes

Exe Valley Fishery has two lakes for fishing. Anchor Lake covers 2 acres, is fed by the River Barle and is used exclusively for fly fishing. Lobbs Lake covers 0.5 acres and offers fishing for families with small children. The two bodies of water therefore differ in both size and stated use: Anchor Lake is four times as large, while Lobbs Lake is specifically described as suitable for families.

The details are useful for travel planning in different ways: the area figures allow a direct comparison, while the fishing type and family use provide practical guidance for the activity. If you are travelling with small children and planning to fish, Lobbs Lake is the lake specified for this use. If you want to fly fish, that activity is associated with Anchor Lake. This allows you to choose based on the specific differences between the two lakes.

Routes through Exebridge and views

The Exe Valley Way passes through Exebridge and runs mainly along quiet country roads and footpaths. These types of routes offer a practical guide for planning: its route description includes both footpaths and quiet country roads.

Another named circular walk, Exe Valley Way and Coldharbour Farm, is associated with views in which Exebridge lies to the left. The two route descriptions therefore answer different questions: the Exe Valley Way passes through Exebridge and is characterised by its predominant route types; the Exe Valley Way and Coldharbour Farm circular walk is described in terms of its views and where the village lies in the view. When weighing up these details, you can decide whether the route or the views are more important to your travel planning.

Exe Bridge over the River Exe

Exe Bridge is a road bridge over the River Exe at the county boundary. Calling it a road bridge describes its function, while its location on the boundary marks its geographical context. Unlike the fishing lakes, the focus here is the river crossing. To keep the river names straight, note that Anchor Lake is fed by the River Barle, while Exe Bridge crosses the River Exe. This distinguishes the lake’s source from the river at the bridge.
