EDITORS COMMENTS
Nestled in the heart of Exmoor National Park, the enchanting Tarr Steps in Somerset, England, are a natural wonder that has captivated visitors for centuries. This breathtaking photograph, taken by the Historic England Photo Library (K020601), showcases the beauty and serenity of this ancient site. The Tarr Steps, a prehistoric clapper bridge, spans the picturesque River Barle, south of Withypool. The bridge is believed to date back to the Bronze Age, making it one of the oldest known bridges in the entire country. The bridge consists of approximately 17 large, flat boulders, skillfully arranged to form a stable crossing, with the river gently flowing beneath. The image reveals the bridge's intricate design, which has withstood the test of time, as well as the lush, vibrant foliage that surrounds it. The trees, their branches reaching out towards the river, create a sense of harmony between the natural elements. The movement of the water adds a dynamic touch to the scene, as it flows gracefully around the stones. The landscape in this photograph is a testament to the raw, untouched beauty of the Exmoor National Park. The rich, earthy tones of the stones, the vibrant greens of the foliage, and the crystal-clear waters of the river come together to create a visually stunning tableau. This photograph not only serves as a reminder of the natural wonders that exist in our world but also highlights the importance of preserving these precious sites for future generations to enjoy. The Tarr Steps, with their historical significance and natural beauty, continue to be a source of inspiration and wonder for all who visit them.
