There are three bridges close together on the road that is now the A377 between Exeter and Crediton. From Exeter these bridges are -
- Road bridge over the main line, with a masonry arch having a pronounced degree of skew.
- Bridge over the River Exe designed and built by Isambard Kingdom Brunel
- Bridge over the River Creedy designed by James Green
Isambard Kingdom Brunel was the Engineer for the line, but William Froude is generally credited with the design of the skewed arch bridge.
Pynes Bridge is located nearby.
