Dulverton & Tarr Steps
RETURN NORTH DEVON

This unspoilt town offers a special welcome to visitors with floral displays inspired by Britain in Bloom. Dulverton’s architecture is diverse, creating a unique atmosphere. The unusual portico of the Town Hall, at the apex of two flights of stone steps, is an interesting feature set in the centre of a town. The Exmoor National Park Visitor Centre and Offices are located in Dulverton near the River Barle, providing a wealth of information for visitors. There is a twice monthly community market offering many local craft products.

In addition to the excellent choice of country sports and riding in the area, this small town has facilities for tennis, squash, short mat bowling and swimming.

Up the River Barle, north-east of Dulverton, is one of the gems of Exmoor, Tarr Steps. Take the B3223 out of the town for about 3 miles. Tarr Steps is signposted to the left. This footbridge over the Barle is considered to be Britain’s oldest and longest stone clapper bridge.
