A very pretty location, with an old stone bridge carrying the road on a z-bend with the ford alongside it. It's clearly a local beauty spot, because there's a car park very near by. The ford itself has a rough rocky bottom, is up to a foot deep, and has rather steep entry and exit ramps which would make it tricky in a normal car but quite passable by 4x4 or bike

Robber's Bridge ST 820 465 is a popular picnic spot on Weir Water, accessible via a narrow, steep and winding road from the A39 near the top of Porlock Hill or the equally narrow road from Oare. The tiny road bridge, reputed to be the site of a Doone robbery.
