Exmoor and its neighbour, Dartmoor, are no strangers to ancient stepping stone crossings and this is a marvellous example. Crossing the River Barle, these stepping stones are a little upriver from the famous Tarr Steps clapper bridge. They're accessible from both the Exe Valley Way and the Two Moors Way.

River crossing - beautiful walk along the river, shady and across sheep pastures back to Whittypool.

Stepping stones or stepstones are sets of stones arranged to form an improvised causeway that allows a pedestrian to cross a natural watercourse such as a creek, a small river; or a water feature in a garden where water is allowed to flow between stone steps.
