- I explore a couple of hidden treasures of the Exmouth Branch Great Western Railway (GWR) line in south Devon. l capture two rarely photographed gems: Exton at high tide and the elusive Bridge over the river Clyst, all against the backdrop of a glorious summer evening sunset.
First, the beauty of Exton as the tide rolls in, capturing the essence of this picturesque location, the next destination takes us on a quest to find the rarely photographed Railway Bridge over the river Clyst. It's an intriguing spot that is off the beaten track.
Whether you're a railway enthusiast or a railway photographer, this video promises to transport you to these rarely explored gems on the Exmouth Branch line. So, join me as we embark on this journey of discovery and capture the essence of these hidden treasures at high tide and sunset.

Love your videos I always look forward to watching them.
I appreciate that Paul, many thanks.
Lovely little video Andrew, with some great photos. Hope you got to visit the delightful Topsham whilst on the Exmouth branch.
Many thanks Jim, sadly not, we didn't get to Topsham, maybe next time. The day was spent around Exmouth and visiting the National Trust house A La Ronde
Nicely done as always Andrew.
Many thanks, Andy, I better get some of these images posted up to Flickr.
Amazing video Andrew, you've inspired me to take up railway photography. It's so relaxing and there's no other feeling where you feel so free except when with trains! 😊😊
You should its a great addition to the hobby.
Thanks Andrew, great video as always. Too bad about those cancelations, but better safe than sorry with infrastructure damage. There was one rail bridge strike here in the US, i think it was down south, where the bridge collapsed under a subsequent train.
Many thanks, safety first, I found out later is was a boat that hit the central Pilar of the Royal Albert Bridge in the early morning, but it wasn't reported until lunchtime. The UK does suffer many bridge strikes, usually trucks on low bridges.
Brilliant video as usual!
Many thanks, that's appreciated, I managed to get a couple of opportunities for railway photography when on holiday in the South West.
Andrew, another great video with as always, some well crafted shots.
Many thanks Stuart, with this one I genuinely didn’t know what to expect, or even if any shots were available, if honest I could’ve spent the evening at Exton, a smashing location.
Oh, I see, welcome to my patch Andrew! Very unexpected but I hope you’re enjoying your visit to the distant lands of the West Country. Interesting video as always and typical that you’ve shot trains on a line I rarely look at! Maybe I should look closer to home! Shame about the mainline being closed. Another time, the RA bridge really is spectacular. By the way, the River Clyst is pronounced “Klist”😉
Many thanks for the pronunciation Steve, I've no idea with these local pronunciations really. I would have loved to do more on the Exmouth branch but time was against us. It looked incredibly picturesque as the tide came in at sunset.
Great videography by Mrs Shenton at the end there, what is your final destination down there?
Thanks Peter, she’ll be pleased with that comment, it was a tour around Devon & Cornwall, Dartmouth, Heligan and Sidmouth. A couple of more Videos to comye from the trip hopefully.
Real shame about the original video. Think it was a boat hitting a bridge if I remember seeing that tweet. Very interesting Bridge over the river Clyst. Great video
Cheers Simon, it was a boat, from what I’ve now seen it was actually a boat which hit the middle tower of the Royal Albert Bridge early in the morning, but wasn’t reported until lunchtime, there was a team of Network Rail people around the bottom of the bridge whilst I was there.
Simon I was just catching up on some of your older videos! Diverted trains on bank holidays, very well done.
A joy as ever Andrew, did you get to make a film at Saltash after.?
Many thanks Peter. Sadly, it was a strike day going into Cornwall and then no trains when returning, another day perhaps!
Clever idea Andrew to take shots from that line as the other line across the river is photographed/filmed regularly
Indeed Ben, I know the trains aren't as interesting as on the main line, but still it was worth an exploration.
Very entertaining Andrew, however, the shorts were a little distracting!!!!
Thanks Brian, back to the grim north now and the legs are permanently covered from now on!
Hey up Andrew you got your shorts on hahahhaha get in sir
Not often my legs get out - but I was on holiday!!
east devon not south devon
Many thanks, noted!
Think you pronounce Clyst as 'KLIST'.
Thank you, the local pronunciations are a nightmare, in my local Yorkshire there's some real gems of pronunciation.
