The village centre, with the Castle Inn, Fore Street, on the left. An old coaching inn, it included a small brewery in the 19th century. Bradninch was once on the great west road from Bristol to Exeter but was largely bypassed by long-distance traffic following the opening of the Cullompton turnpike in circa 1820, which ran in the valley via Broadclyst. This road, later designated the A38, was itself superseded by the M5 Motorway in 1977
