Great Bradley Bridge

A new 28m span bridge across the River Barle was opened on the 19th October 2024 (Exmoor Day) in celebration of Exmoor's 70th anniversary of its designation as a National Park.

The new crossing has helped secure the route of the popular Two Moors Way and opens up new access opportunities for walkers, riders and cyclists in the Barle Valley. It allows a permissive path through sensitive wet woodlands and which has been heavily eroded to be closed, and a much better bridleway on the opposite side to be utilised for the benefit of all.

The project was funded through the generous support of CareMoor for Exmoor supporters, alongside contributions from the Farming In Protected Landscapes scheme, the British Mountaineering Council, the Keene Foundation and many others.
