Popular Exmoor footbridge closed over safety fears

A popular footbridge in Exmoor has been shut over safety fears.

The Hinds Pitt bridge, near the Tarr Steps circular walk, in Somerset, has been deemed unsafe after structural failures.

Exmoor National Park Authority (ENPA) said it was working on a plan for a long-term replacement, reinstating public access.

ENPA access and recreation manager, Dan Barnett, said: "The bridge has been there since the 1950s and some key parts of the steel structure have deteriorated to a point where they are no longer safe."
