According to #Wikipedia, the #TarrSteps are form of construction called a #ClapperBridge and were originally built in #Medieval times but these are not the original stones as they have been damages and swept away several times in their history during storms and rebuilt, luckily in the same manner.
-
The first enigmatic view of the #TarrSteps was from behind trees. Here, we could see people crossing the river.
-
The last part of the path to the #TarrSteps from the north-east is quite rocky.
-
From the high #moor, the land slopes down towards the location of the #TarrSteps.
-
The planned destination and scheduled break for our #DulvertonToTarrSteps #hike were the #TarrSteps themselve. On the approach, we encountered some wild #ExmoorPonies, which roam wild over the #moor. They are a distinct breed from the #DarmoorPonies that I am more familiar with owing to their geographical isolation.

Yesterday, we went on a #walking trip in #Exmoor, which is in #Somerset, despite the name. I had been planning a round #walk from #Dulverton to the #TarrSteps since last summer and this #BankHoliday weekend is a good time to have it as the weather is better, though not too hot, the days are longer, and there's a spare day for recovery. My wife used a #pedometer app to record the journey and it clocked in at 24.2 km and she recorded nearly 36,000 steps in eight hours, including breaks.

Memories of a walk on another wet day. These are the Tarr Steps on Exmoor photographed in November this year. This example of a clapper bridge may date back to 1000BC according to https://www.visit-exmoor.co.uk/. There's a ford beside the ancient bridge for those with suitable vehicles.
