*************

The River Taw rises at Taw Head, a spring on the central northern flanks of Dartmoor. It reaches the Bristol Channel 72km (45 miles) away on the north coast of Devon at a joint estuary mouth which it shares with the River Torridge.

As it heads north, the stream gives its name to the village of South Tawton and to the late Poet Laureate Ted Hughes' adopted home town of North Tawton. The river picks up headwaters from a number of tributaries, including the Lapford Yeo, the Little Dart River and the River Mole, which rises on Devon's other upland area, Exmoor. The river increases in size and becomes a recreational trout river before becoming tidal at Newbridge, approximately 19km (12 miles) from the sea. This journey passes through rural Devon, the river being surrounded by pasture and wooded valley sides.
