EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Peter Barritt showcases a magnificent medieval clapper bridge, constructed in the 13th and 14th centuries, that spans across the East Dart River in Postbridge, Dartmoor. The bridge is an impressive sight to behold as it consists of four massive granite slabs meticulously placed together. Its ancient architecture serves as a testament to the skilled craftsmanship of past civilizations. The scene captured in this image transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into the rich history of England's medieval era. The rugged landscape of Dartmoor provides a breathtaking backdrop for this architectural marvel. With its stone structure blending seamlessly with nature, it evokes a sense of harmony between man-made creations and their surroundings. As we admire this remarkable bridge from afar, we can't help but imagine the countless travelers who have crossed its path throughout centuries gone by. This photograph invites us to appreciate both the engineering prowess required to construct such an enduring structure and the natural beauty that surrounds it. Barritt's photography skillfully captures every detail of this historical gem – from the texture of each granite slab to the tranquil flow of water beneath it. Through his lens, he brings alive not just an ancient relic but also our curiosity about what stories lie within its weathered stones. This print serves as a reminder that travel destinations are not solely defined by bustling cities or modern attractions; they can also be found amidst quiet landscapes where remnants of ancient civilizations still stand tall.
