Overview

An Exmoor walk with stream, woodland, field and heathland. There is little habitation other than ponies and sheep until we reach Tarr Steps! Starting at Hawkridge, we follow the river Barle down river on woodland tracks to Marsh Bridge. There is then a climb north of Dulverton to Highercombe Farm and over moorland to cross Tarr Steps. We then climb through fields and woodland back to Hawkridge. Good views all day. One stile at end of walk. Coffee, lunch and tea stops!
