Bakers Mead
Bakers Mead is now a small hamlet with about half a dozen houses some of which can just be seen in the background, but at one time it was this single farmhouse which was just called Bakers. The road is the minor road from Shute to Taunton Cross.

Shute Piers, Shute Road, Bakers Mead, Shute
Positioned alongside an old Roman and turnpike road the piers were presumably the gateway to the Shute Estate. Graffiti on the piers indicate a date of 1763. Sir John William de la Pole, 6th Baronet (1757 to 1799) (MP for the rotten borough of West Looe) in 1787 built the 'New Shute House'. The 5th Baronet died in 1760 so it is possible the piers are later than 1763. The east pier was damaged by a car in 2008 and repaired at a cost of about £34,000, the cost met by the insurance company. In March 2011 however another car crashed into it completely demolishing it. The pier was re-built around the end of the same year.

Shute: stone gateposts
Looking north-north-west on the road from Seaton and Colyton. A public footpath runs on ahead. The main road rounds the corner to join the A35 at Taunton Cross. On the right a lane leads to Shute Hill Farm; this was once a Roman road linking the Fosse Way with Exeter. The gateposts probably relate to Shute House, a property once belonging to the Pole family, and they – together with the Roman road – mark the parish boundary

Shute: Roman road
This highway once linked the Fosse Way in the Axe valley with Exeter. The Fosse Way terminated with a harbour at Axmouth. The route now merely provides access to Shute Hill Farm and has been supplanted by the A35 Trunk Road, which runs to the north of Kilmington Hill. Looking east-north-east
