Stepping stones over the Cresswell As has been shown in other pictures submitted here, this location is definitely not crossable 24 hours a day as the river is tidal here and the stepping stones are only accessible during low tide.  Based on what I could see, they're uncrossable for about 3 hours each high tide making them unusable for about 6 hours in each day.  

They do form part of the Landsker Borderlands Trail.
