Looking north from near Firebeacon. This was the main route between Tiverton and Bampton until the new Exe Valley road – the A396 – was opened in 1819. It was further downgraded in the 1860s when Knighthayes House was built; the replacement road was constructed away from the house, running to the east via Allers and Chettiscombe
