Robber's Bridge, or Robbers Bridge, is an old masonry arch bridge in the royal forest of Exmoor near Doone Valley, carrying the minor road from Porlock Hill to Oare. It crosses Weir Water and is located down a steep, wooded lane beneath overhanging trees.
Some consider it to be a popular picnic spot, accessible via a narrow, steep, and winding road. In addition, from the nearby carpark, the bridge provides access to a grassland considered suitable for picnicking.
