101 Rupert HarwoodThe attempt by the NPA to prevent further use of the Clam bridge is an absolute disgrace both in its purpose and physical implementation. I have seen better workmanship from a first year apprentice.
102 Julie HarwoodThe new bridge is an eyesore. The blocking off of the Clam bridge is a mess.
103 Richard PurkissThe fact that the DNPA still dares to list the "conservation of cultural heritage" among its objectives after what has been done to the clam bridge, beggars belief. Not only has an historic river crossing been closed, but the spot has been ruined by a structure which they hadn’t the decency to place 100 yards downstream. According to the Authority's own professed principles, a more spineless and hypocritical action can hardly be imagined. By caving in to spectral lawsuits and compensation claims the DNPA is making itself an agent in the wanton destruction of our heritage for fear of legal parasites. Why not go all the way? Put railings on the tors (for one may fall). Drain the mires (for you might lose a boot). Dismantle the clappers (for stones can be slippery). Make all safe and sound for carping fools whose presence the moor can well dispense with. And when all is said and done, rebrand it as a country park. Then perhaps, someone will care to press charges of cultural vandalism.

105 Jonny PickettThey will be wanting to tarmac the moor next in case someone slips and hurts themselves... LEAVE THE BRIDGE BE..

110 AnonymousIt's stood long enough so why not leave it alone.
111 Leon AndrewsI have travelled the Bovey Valley a lot over the years and I think that Clam Bridge is in keeping with the surroundings. It's a travesty to build something else that I personally think looks monstrous in such a place of serenity.

120 James DurstonThis is just another example of a nanny state gone mad! I tripped recently on an uneven curb stone perhaps we should close Devons pavements as well.
121 Phil DandoWe walked on similar bridges on the Juan de fuca trail in Canada, wonderfully simple bridges, perfectly functional and safe.
122 Audrey GildingThe new bridge is a monstrosity and I can't believe how this beautiful spot has now been destroyed. Away with the horrible construction!
123 Phillipa LeyshonPlease keep this bridge open, it means alot to a friend of mine.

125 Peter AdamIn the middle of such a wild area, the old bridge is right, the replacement one ugly. Get the NP Authority to build more Clam Bridges over rivers.

127 micheal walkeri like to ealking around the cleave it is a real shame that they have fenced it of i think they should keep both of the bridges
128 Tod GuestThe DNPA et al need to see beyond the creep of meaningless health and safety bureaucracy and let people take responsibility for themselves. By all means put up a sign warning that the bridge is a bit sipppery but the nonsense of the bridge blockage is a bit nanny-state.
