Old Railway bridge on the Culm
Originally uploaded by yabbox

Picture postcard of the old Railway line as it crosses the River Culm taken on a bright day after the winter snow. I took this photo in February 2009 near Silver street – just down river of the Culm Valley Inn, Culmstock, Devon. With weather like this I was looking forward to my trip to South America and the Rio Carnival just a few weeks later!!
This is a lovely part of Devon, not far from the Somerset border and the Blackdown Hills, which form a beautiful and pretty much isolated landscape. There are steep ridges, valleys and farmland which all help to create a stunning landscape and lovely country walks. A mile away from the village of Culmstock is the Culmstock Beacon, with more impressive views over the Blackdown Hills.
