モランドの天然記念物・トップ6

If walking the route I've suggested I would wear good waterproof boots and if your unsteady on your feet take poles to help balance great walk to suit all abilities

There is a couple of these money stumps alot this route I had never seen them before until today

I'm surprised no one has plundered the trees yet.

Moderate trail for everyone to explore and enjoy

Whether you are an experienced walker or someone who prefers a short stroll, Tarr Steps is a great place to go when looking to explore Exmoor National Park. You can head straight there, utilising the on site car park and toilet facilities, with just a gentle walk down to the ancient clapper bridge. The beautiful wooded valley of the River Barle is also worth exploring for its wildlife, as is the heathland of Winsford Hill and its wild ponies in the surrounding countryside. For a short circular walk from the bridge just follow the orange way marks.

Quite a strange custom. A story I was once told: if you want to get rid of an illness, you symbolically give it to a dead tree with a coin. It doesn't matter to the tree (it's already dead) But if someone else pulls out a coin and pockets it, the tree will pass this disease back to the "puller." Nasty, right? 🤷

Tarr Steps is the longest clapper bridge in all of Britain. Although the first recorded mention of this bridge dates back to the Tudor times, it may be much older. Due to river sedimentation over the years, when the river level rises significantly, it can sometimes flow over the stones.
