It may seem remarkable today that before the Cullompton Turnpike was opened in the second decade of the 19th century this was probably the main road from Bristol and the north to Exeter and Plymouth. In 1770 a stage coach took a day and a half to travel between Bristol and Exeter, calling at Bridgwater and Taunton. Inside passengers were charged a guinea for the full distance. Looking north north east towards Bradninch.
