The planned destination and scheduled break for our #DulvertonToTarrSteps #hike were the #TarrSteps themselve. On the approach, we encountered some wild #ExmoorPonies, which roam wild over the #moor. They are a distinct breed from the #DarmoorPonies that I am more familiar with owing to their geographical isolation.

From the high #moor, the land slopes down towards the location of the #TarrSteps.

You get a good panoramic view of the #countryside and you can see more sheep in fields here.

The last part of the path to the #TarrSteps from the north-east is quite rocky.

The first enigmatic view of the #TarrSteps was from behind trees. Here, we could see people crossing the river.

When we finally got to this destination, it was time to relax. For the first time since breakfast at around 6 am, I had something to eat and drink. It was a wonderful feeling and helped revive me almost instantly. As it was a fine day, may people were gathered here, just having a good time. According to #Wikipedia, the #TarrSteps are form of construction called a #ClapperBridge and were originally built in #Medieval times but these are not the original stones as they have been damages and swept away several times in their history during storms and rebuilt, luckily in the same manner.

After our lunch, it was time to cross the #bridge and resume our #hiking back towards #Dulverton. We'd done just over 11 km up to this point.
