River Taw
The River Taw rises at ''Taw Head'', a spring on the central northern flanks of Dartmoor, crosses north Devon and close to the sea at the town of Barnstaple, formerly a significant port, empties into Bideford Bay in the Bristol Channel having formed a large estuary of wide meanders which at its western extreme is joined by the estuary of the Torridge. ==Course== As a stream the Taw heads north and gives its name to the village of South Tawton and to North Tawton. Headwaters add to the size from a number of two major upper course tributaries including the Lapford Yeo, Little Dart River. Along the middle course the Taw receives the River Mole (distributary of the River Bray and a second Yeo), which all rise on upland Exmoor to the north-east. By this midway stage the river has increased in size and becomes a season-round recreational trout, sea trout and salmon river before becoming tidal at ''Newbridge'', approximately from the sea. The river drains a variable width basin as one of many rivers in the strongly agriculturally county, the river has a rolling valley surrounded by (in order of frequency of occurrence) animal pasture, cultivated fields and woodland until near its end. Its length is approximately . The Tarka trail named after Tarka the Otter follows much of the river's course.〔(Open Street Map )〕
