What it Looks Like Today:Dulverton Station to Morebath Junction Halt
The Exe Railway Bridge eastern side(or Bridge 2b)
I have now visited this bridge twice and now know that this side can be reached via a footpath,that goes to the right and around the industrial estate at Exebridge,but when I first visited here that's not how we got to it.Instead we parked at the industrial estate and climbed up the bank next to the Minehead Road Bridge(or Bridge 3) and walked along the raised track bed,until we came to the bridge.This walk is mainly clear of vegetation and a pleasant stroll.As with the other side,you must not cross the fence at the end,as there is a sheer drop,so when you reach this point,climb down the bank and you will be at the bridge.When I first visited however,there was no fence here and trusting ourselves not to be lemmings,we took some pictures from near the edge.Best not to do that though.

After climbing down we were pleased to find that this side of the bridge was just as good as the other and in equally good condition.This bridge really is a marvel of engineering and it is well worth a visit.There is also a little shale beach,so you can mess about in the river for a bit here too.
As I said earlier,you can from here just follow the footpath to the left,as in north of the bridge and you will be brought back to the industrial estate and road at Exbridge,but we climbed back up the bank and walked back along the line to the Minehead Road Bridge(or Bridge 3).
