Dating from the early 17th Century, Landacre Bridge carries the Exford-South Molton road across the Barle valley about seven miles south-west of Porlock, crossing the river as its flows south from the remote Chains area. It is one of several substantial stone bridges found on the moor, and, like the others, consists of several low arches, five in this instance, which perhaps displays the technology of its period. It is a popular tourist spot in summer as a rough track leads from the bridge for a quarter of a mile to Sherdon Hutch where there is a safe bathing spot.
