Tarr Steps Route
This is an exciting route which takes you across to the south-west side of the moor.
It is a long route which encompasses the scenery and archaeology side of Exmoor.
There are chances to see wildlife but it should be understood that to get to the south-
west side of Exmoor and back means that there is more being in the vehicle than
stopping and getting out.

The trip is called the Tarr Steps route and as an outstanding archaeological site we
stop there so that Richard can tell you the tale and you can walk across the bridge.

Visiting small village areas and for those that might be staying in the vicinity of Porlock gives you a good chance of visiting a completely different area of Exmoor.

If you get travel sickness and don't wish to be rather cramped for long periods without
too much chance of getting out of the vehicle, then this trip is not for you. That said, I
often say to people that if you want to see Exmoor then this is the best route.

This route can last slightly longer than 2.5 hours and due to its length the route may
change direction slightly during the last fifth of the trip.
