The three arches of the 17th century stone Fingle Bridge over the river Teign, Dartmoor National Park, Devon. This packhorse bridge also has two central piers surrounded by triangular cutwaters extending upwards to form pedestrian refuges and is also a Grade II listed building. Fingle Bridge takes its name from Fingle Brook, a minor tributary which flows into the Teign adjacent to the bridge. Fingle is derived from the old English "fang", meaning to catch, a reference to the suitability of the stretch of river for fishing
