Tarr Steps clapper bridge is thought to date to 1000 BC and was said to have been placed by the devil to win a bet and he still has sunbathing rights on the stones. The myth said that the devil swore he'd kill anyone who tried to cross his bridge. The terrified locals got the parson to face him. A cat was sent over the bridge and was vaporised in a puff of smoke. The parson then set off and met the devil mid way, the devil swore and intimidated him but the parson reciprocated equally and finally the devil conceded to let people pass except when he wants to sunbathe.
The stones weigh between one and two tons each, but that did not stop parts of the bridge from being washed away by floods in December 2012. The word “clapper bridge” comes from medieval Latin “claperius” which means pile of stones. This is the largest example of its type.

I love finding old ruins; at some point in time, people went up and down these steps. Now nature is reclaiming them.
