Many thanks to Exe Valley Fishery for facilitating this camera's location and to The Westcountry Rivers Trust & River Exe & Tributaries Association for capitally funding its installation.This was Farson Digital's first webcam and is located in the grounds of The Exe Valley Fishery. The name of the company comes from celebrated foreign correspondent and writer Negley Farson, who wrote about the bridge at Exebridge in his book 'Going Fishing' while he stayed at The Carnarvon Arms Hotel. The River Exe rises at Exe Head, near the village of Simonsbath, on Exmoor in Somerset, 8.4 kilometres (5 miles) from the Bristol Channel coast, but flows more or less directly due south, so that most of its length lies in Devon. It reaches the sea at a substantial ria, the Exe Estuary, on the south (English Channel) coast of Devon.
