Aish

(15/06/2003)

There are actually three fords marked on the map at Aish, but this is the only one you can realistically access: with a 4x4! The other two fords just around the corner are way too overgrown.

The ford itself was small on this visit but flow down the track a little way and diagonally across the junction. I would imagine it would form quite a puddle when wet.

Aveton Gifford Tidal Road
SX683467 (3*) Tidal
(10/06/2002)

Not strictly a ford this one but a considerable length of road which is flooded by the tide. Three sections of the road appear particularly prone to flooding (one pictured below), but the whole road will go under on a daily basis. The seaweed leaves a mark on the cliff in places and indicates that this is a road which shouldn't be used in high tide! Image 1 Mouseover and Image 2 sent in by Kevin Foster (22/10/2004).

Sent in by Jay and Pete (Images 1 to 3: 21/08/2005) and Lee Sunderland (06/04/2008)

'The first tidal crossing is best approached from the Bere Ferrers side. The tidal road is on the edge of the village and is about 500yards long. It can be quite marshy under foot in places and the ford itself is thick mud and water at low tide about 15yards across with easy approach and exit. Today it was about two hours from high water so was about wheel height. Do not continue on past the exit, instead turn left and head up the lane into Gnatham as the road only continues for another 100yards before you are politely asked to not take your vehicle beyond this point (Images 1 to 3)'

The second is even more intimidating (Images 4 and 5).

Vehicular access is from the north as the lanes to the east and the west have been closed to vehicles. I drove the lane to the East a few years ago when it was only "unsuitable for motors" and it was quite passable in a small car but very, very narrow. No depth gauge or signs, Pretty little stone footbridge. There is a small parking area and the footpath that runs downstream alongside the creek makes a pleasant walk.'

'The ford is unsigned, as the road now goes south of it, and over a bridge. The photo is taken from the west side of the ford looking south-eastish, and shows the road curving off. The track is mostly gravel, with a few larger stones. The run into the ford is similar, but soon turns to rocks only once you're into the ford. After some heavy rain, the ford was still only 6in or so deep in most places, so should be passable by most vehicles. There's a footbridge just north of the ford which makes recceing it much easier.'

Combeinteignhead Tidal Ford
SX902723 (3*) Tidal
Sent in by Jonathan Gurney (23/08/2005)

'A short trackway running along the foreshore of the Teign estuary, connecting a pair of bungalows on the shore to the road system. There is public access to dry land at the road end only but there is room to turn a vehicle on the foreshore at the other end, so it is possible to drive along the track and return without trespassing (the number of tyre tracks at the best turning point suggested this is ofen done, perhaps by fishermen). The track starts at a ramp by the Combe Cellars pub car park and runs just below the sea wall around the pub (image 1), passes through a retractable section of a jetty (see below), fords a stream (image 2) then passes just below the high water mark (image 3) to the end. Most of the surface is firm gravel but the stream crossing is muddy and might need 4WD. This spot could also be tricky if the tide was still in and water hid the mud and rocks. The rest could be driven when still in water if the vehicle had sufficient clearance.

The most interesting feature of the track is the way it passes through a retractable section of a jetty outside the pub (image3, close-up iamge 4). This is retracted when the tide is out to open a gap and allow land vehicles to pass along the tidal track. When the tide rises this section is extended to link the jetty to shore. As far as I know this is a unique structure.'

Darracott hill is one of the famous West Country hills everybody has heard off but only Lands End trial drivers or spectators will have seen. The ford as shown is on the Devon/Cornwall border and the actual hill starts on the other side of the stream from the camera and is narrow and rocky and long with several hairpins.

So as to observe the MCC rule of no practice we drove "down" the hill from 222177 to 217169 the ford being at 223173. The hill is too narrow and the surface too fragile for 4 x 4s and not suitable for ordinairy cars.'

Don't be fooled by the picture, this is a rough old ford! About a foot deep with a loose gravel bottom, the problem lies on the exit ramps which have fallen into disrepair. I would expect most 4x4s to have difficulty, but a vehicle with good ground clearance should cope fine. The roads at either side are in good condition, but turning spaces are limited! No signs or gauge, footbridge.

(10/06/2002)

The two forded sections at Goodshelter are distinct and offer two completely different splashdowns. Approaching from west to east, the first ford encountered is where the tide spills into an embayment (Image 1). The asphalt road is the preferred route during higher tides, but an alternative route is available across the flats at low tide traversing a small stream approximately where Bradders, Gareth and Thom are stood (Image 2).

The next ford provides a full time splashdown as a small stream spills accross the road into the inlet. However, the road also floods at high tides (Image 3).

'Access from the eastern end is on a well signposted (Unmetaled Road) gravel track giving way to a grassy track. There is a sharp drop of about 12"-18" into the river which, when we drove it this morning was about 6" deep. There is a footbridge taking a footpath across right beside the ford. As we entered the water it was not immediatly evident where the exit was. It seemed from the map that the track went to the right from where we entered the water so we went right into the stream.

The main channel runs under the bridge and is not accessable by motor vehicle but there is a second smaller river channel which, upon thinking about it is where the river has chosen the course of the road to flow along. The road therefor follows along the course of the rocky/gravely stream bed for about 60-80 yards, never exceeding about 6" depth (although it looks like depths of 1-2' might be possible in wet conditions), before the stream diverts back to the main channel, again under a footbridge. There is a rope swing over the pool which has formed at the bend.

This pool is rather deeper than the rest of the stream and, after an aborted attempt at driving to the left on the outside of the bend, we made a succesful crossing to the right of the rope swing (on the north side of the stream) with the Defender having it's lights submerged and the Range Rover dipping one corner of the bonnet under water - I would estimate the depth of this pool at 30-36". The exit ramp from the water is smooth and reasonably shallow with a stoney bed. The end of the lane is about another 100 yards of muddy but firm sunken lane - beware of residents using it to park their cars right at the end.'

'The Landranger OS map honours this one with the word Ford. Clearly on this map this dignity is reserved for the mighty. It appears at a quick glance at the map to be on a yellow road, but this is deceptive. In a car, pay more attention to the No Through Road signs at each end, and the Unsuitable for Motor Vehicles on the final western approach.

Narrow approach roads of three-ply asphalt (grass up the middle) lead to a daunting monster across the River Lew whose terror lies not so much in its 30ft width or its rough gravel bottom (which would be negotiable by the more adventurous car driver), as in the precipitous muddy ramps leading in and out. Definitely one for 4x4s, trials cars and horse riders (although they are warned that the beefy footbridge is Unsuitable for Horses). In winter spate, this would indeed be a fearsome challenge.'

'It is along a dirt track which has no road signs of any description at either end, nor near the ford. I approached from the West, and immediately noticed signs of both 4-wheeled and 2-wheeled vehicles, although it seemed to be mainly used by horse riders. The hedges are getting overgrown, and almost meet in the middle in a couple of places. The ford itself is more like a large puddle, about a car-length wide, with just a muddy stoney bottom, and shouldn't pose any problem to any vehicle capable of reaching it. There is a concrete slab footbridge, which I had to clear of brambles to get across. Just on the other side the lane widens out and there is much evidence of 4x4 activity, although not actually through the ford.'

'In the pretty village of Ide, on the edge of Exeter, a slipway beside the Huntsman Inn takes you into one of the longest fords in Britain - or it would if the Devon County Council hadn't spoilsportingly banned motorised traffic, so now it is one purely for the cyclists, web-footed or wellied pedestrians and equestrians - unless of course you are accessing a property further on. Anyone else can at least walk along the asphalted quayside.

The ford is the village street for a handsome row of cottages called The College, before turning a corner and becoming a country lane, ending after a full 105 paced yards. Not to be missed, especially as it is just one minute's drive from the A30 trunk road.'

'The track from Knowstone is pretty good, easily passable in any normal family car, as is the ford. Once on the west side of the ford though, it climbs steeply up a very rough track that only improves once you get to Harpson - for this reason it's probably 4x4s only. The ford itself is pretty tame, only a couple of metres across, although it had been dry for a few days when I visited. The base is gravel, and the routes in and out are very shallow. There's a small footbridge on the north side of the ford. (Image 1)'

'This daunting crossing of the broad, fast-flowing Tamar is shown as a ford on the OS 1:25,000 map, part of an ORPA to Latchley; but I didn’t fancy it even in my high 4x4, and it clearly carries little wheeled traffic (although horse hoofmarks showed that adventurous riders come this way). Jay and Pete decided to drive from the horsebridge side across as the approach to the water was quite a steep drop and ruts make the Landrover lean heavily to the near side. The conditions were good, quite loose underfoot and a few sizeable boulders but nothing impassible. The depth was roughly about two foot - try to head directly for your departure point and all should be ok! You could also drive from the opposite side but you will need to give it plenty of welly for the exit!'

'Used this ford the other day. No issues for a Landy with raised intake at current water levels - it was about waist deep. However the entrance from Lamerhooe (north) side is very very muddy and silty. We had to build a bridge over it (it's only around 2m) Once you are about a foot into the water it's gravel bottom the whole way across including the exit on the south (cornwall) bank.'

'We approached the ford from the South East up a white road marked "Unsuitable for Motor Vehicles" which in fact was level two-ply concrete and quite smooth. First of all we found the fast running stream culverted under the bridge in the first photo. Could easily flood the track in wet weather, we thought but no ford signs, poles etc. Continuing on for another 20 yds or so, we came to the proper job which is quite a deep ford with footbridge and a shingly bottom. Bear in mind the photos were taken at the end of a very dry spell and this ford in wet weather would be real challenge. After the ford, the road is tarmaced as per yellow on the map. The footbridge is easily approached on the south side but leads directly to a stile on the other side so walkers will find themselves on the inside of the field, not the side of the road!'

'Here is a ford across one of the main rivers in Devon - it can be pretty deep so care is needed. There is also usually quite a flow to it so careful steering is also required! From the west bank, down a lane and into a field, the ford presents itself with the exit directly opposite. This leads though a field which sometimes has sheep in it. Horses are also sometimes washed in the river so care and consideration are necessary.

Please also check if the gate on the east bank is locked or not. I am unsure about the rights of way to this track, the Rights of way officer at the council shuld be able to help.

The ford varies from 30cms to about 800cm depending on route and weather. I should imagine this rises further during storm water. if you don't have a snorkel I would recommend waders and a stick first!

This is on a loop of roads maintained by the Army for access to the ranges, to which the public are allowed access when not in use for firing or manoeuvres - go in at SX591931 and follow the newly laid asphalt. (A new bridge at this point has just replaced a rather nice ford, sadly.)

The ford is alongside a bridge labelled Light Traffic Only, so presumably it is maintained for heavier military vehicles. It is about 30ft across, and 10" deep, with gravel bottom and approach ramps. (Images 1 & 2)

After the previous ford, the road becomes a mix of gravel and broken, potholed asphalt - nasty but negotiable with care - to bring you to this little paved ford - pretty, but tricky because of the steep, abrupt ramp on the south side.

If you follow your nose onwards, it takes you round in a loop to rejoin the road in just north of the first ford. (Image 3)'

Sent in by Tom Springs (06/04/2005)

'The ford is well worth a visit and careful checking before driving. Basically there is a T-junction of two tracks (Image 1), the tracks can be muddy and the entrances to the ford needs some good ground clearance. The ford is on the 'T' of the junction and to get to the other road you have to drive down the river.

There is a footpath around but many trees obscure most of the view of the river. The river is narrow and I anticipate very narrow in summer. The Photos were taken this winter from standing in the river. At the time of driving ( in a Defender) the river was about half a metre at its deepest (Image 2) and 10 cm at its shallowest. Riverbed conditions vary through the ford varying from the remains of an old paved road to sand banks and a sandy flat river bed. there are some rocks but the main problem will be overhanging branches and the entrance/exit. Ford is about 100m long with a rest/turning point half way. Carries a warning sign about dangers of ford crossing warning that it can reach 36inches.'

"I drove the Payhembury ford this week, or at least the main track through it that runs East-West and that is now seriously overgrown. It's particularly bad to the West of the river, the branches from both sides are touching in the middle & it's just like driving through a hedge. Paddy ?

'I know the ford well having used it for many years when in the area. This time I took it a little faster than I should have and although the water is only about 1" deep it made a splash big enough to cover the windscreen. At my next stop I noticed that my front number plate was missing. My daughter thought it might have come off in the ford but I thought that unlikely as it is not near the ground. When we came back a few hours later, there it was just a few yards downstream - the "bow wave" must have pulled the screws out as they were still attached to the plate. I stopped the car just clear of the ford and my daughter's boy friend leapt out of the car to retrieve it not realising that the concrete slab was covered in a slippery slime and promptly fell over. We did get the plate back but it was damaged and will have to be replaced before the next MOT.'
