EDITORS COMMENTS
The Pack Horse Bridge of Allerford, Somerset, England: A Timeless Symbol of Rural England's Rich History Nestled within the picturesque village of Allerford, in the heart of Exmoor National Park, lies this iconic Pack Horse Bridge. The bridge, a cherished piece of Somerset's history, is believed to date back to the 16th century and is part of the historic parish of Selworthy in the district of Somerset West and Taunton. This evocative image, captured in the 1930s, offers a glimpse into a bygone era. The Pack Horse Bridge, with its distinctive arches and timeworn stones, once served as a vital link for the local community, allowing pack horses to ford the River Aller safely. The rugged terrain of Exmoor National Park, with its undulating hills and dense woodlands, made this bridge an essential connection between the village and the surrounding countryside. The Pack Horse Bridge stands as a testament to the resilience and resourcefulness of the rural English communities that once relied on these ancient structures. As you gaze upon this image, you can almost hear the gentle clatter of hooves on the cobblestones and the babbling waters of the River Aller flowing beneath. This photograph not only captures the essence of Allerford's rich history but also embodies the quintessential English countryside, with its lush greenery, rolling hills, and quaint village charm. A visit to this idyllic location transports you back in time, allowing you to experience the beauty and tranquility of a bygone era.
