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.

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.
