Tarr Steps riverside walk

Highlight • Forest

The well-marked loop trail along the river is varied but not too demanding and is 1.75 miles long (from Tarr Steps). Small children are better off in the back carrier, older ones will have a lot of fun!

Tarr Steps clapper bridge

Highlight • Bridge

Tarr Steps is the longest clapper bridge (a bridge made of unmortared stone slabs) in Britain. The Grade I-listed, 17-span bridge was first mentioned in Tudor times but is probably medieval in origin.
