A pleasant walk leads you to the mysterious Tarr Steps. Very atmospheric and so worth the effort. When we arrived we were the only ones there, so peaceful

Tarr Steps is a beautiful place no matter what time of the year you visit. Definetley worth a visit if you down that way, can just go to the tea rooms at tarr farm or go for a circular walk.

We were luck with the weather, the views over the moors were stunning followed by a very pleasant walk over the Tarr steps. The recommended the for the walk was an hour, this was spot on.

What a tranquil place in Exmoor. Lovely river with ford and steps across. Great walks along the river and for a picnic, if you don't want to have lunch at Tarr farm.

The bridge is a really magic and historic place. A visit or a walking tour to Tarr Steps is a must while staying at Anstey Mills Cottages, wich is about 5 miles away.

Well worth a trip and walk. Quiet and scenic. Dog loved it. The actual steps across the river are quite a sight. Circular walk is only 1.5 miles in distance.

Okay but a bit disappointed. We visited Tarr Steps on our return from holiday, I was expecting something like beautiful Dovedale but nothing like it. One place to eat but so many 'Dont do this' notices that it didn't feel very welcoming. Walked over the steps, took photos and that was it, set off home. I've been, wouldn't go back.

This was a revisit here having been a number of years ago. The Tarr Steps are a fantastic sight giving a natural stone crossing over the beautiful River Barle. This is the longest bridge of its type in Britain and is a marvel of engineering with nothing seemingly holding the stones together. We opted for a circular walk of just over a mile leaving from the Tarr Steps alongside the river. This could be a little challenging for the less sure footed. There are a few short climbs to be made but the enjoyment to be gained from undertaking the walk make it worthwhile. I would like to have seen a little information along the walk of the flora and fauna which would enhance the experience especially for those with children. There were trout to be seen if you looked carefully and pheasants could be heard. There were other birds also including the yellow pied wagtail. At the side of the river there are some fallen tree stumps which have been turned into sculptures as visitors have pressed coins into the stumps making these sculptures look like crocodiles on the bank. After the walk there are refreshments to be enjoyed at the nearby Inn.During our visit there were people of all ages taking pleasure from their surroundings. The overall experience was a thoroughly enjoyable couple hours.

Beautiful!! Can't say much else really.. Babbling brook children paddling, great for dog walkers. Car park is £2 for the day that's the only tariff. Top tip use the loos in Tarr Farm they are much cleaner and worth spending on a cuppa.
