This year we are thououghly enjoying a Devon winter, with brisk walks and seeing all the spring flowers appearing all over.
On our walks, we came across this glimpse of the River Exe with Mount Wear House across the road.
Mount Wear House is a Grade II Listed small, former country house lying a short distance to the south of the village of Countess Wear. Although now a suburb of Exeter, some three miles from the city centre, Countess Wear was once a settlement in its own right on the banks of the River Exe. The site was formerly part of the medieval manor of "La Sege" which became "Hyneton Sege" and then "Wear" after Isabella de Redvers, Countess of Devon, constructed the weir in 1284.
