Tarr Steps

The river Barle in Exmoor’s National Park is spanned by a foot bridge called Tarr Steps which is a surviving example of a ‘clapper’ bridge made from large, un-mortared slabs of stone and is the longest of its type. But its age is unknown. Some theories claim it dates from the Bronze Age, others date it from around AD1400.
