EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this image of Devil's Bridge on Dartmoor, Devon, circa 1910. The Moorland track leading to the bridge is blanketed in lush greenery, with the bridge itself a testament to the region's rich history. The bridge, with its arches and intricate stonework, spans the swift-flowing waters of the River Dart, creating a picturesque scene that has likely enchanted visitors for centuries. The name "Devil's Bridge" is steeped in legend and folklore. According to one popular tale, the devil himself constructed the bridge in exchange for the soul of a local herdsman. When the herdsman attempted to renege on the deal, the devil was said to have exacted his revenge by adding an extra arch to the bridge, ensuring that his debt would never be truly paid. Despite the myths and legends, Devil's Bridge remains a beloved destination for visitors to Dartmoor National Park. The bridge and its surrounding moorland offer a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when life moved at a slower pace and the natural beauty of the world was a source of wonder and inspiration. This photograph, taken circa 1910, captures the bridge and its surroundings in all their glory. The image is a reminder of the power of nature to endure and the importance of preserving the past for future generations to enjoy. Whether you're a history buff, a nature lover, or simply someone who appreciates the beauty of the world around us, this image of Devil's Bridge on Dartmoor is sure to captivate and inspire.
