River Tavy
The Tavy is a river on Dartmoor, Devon, England. The name derives from the Brythonic root "Taff", the original meaning of which has now been lost. It has given its name to the town of Tavistock and the villages of Mary Tavy and Peter Tavy.
It is a tributary of the River Tamar and has as its own tributaries:
*Collybrooke
*River Burn
*River Wallabrooke
*River Lumburn
*River Walkham
At Tavistock it feeds a canal running to Morwellham Quay.
Its mouth it is crossed by the Tavy Bridge which carries the Tamar Valley railway line.
==Navigation==
The river is navigable inland as far as Lopwell, where a weir marks the normal tidal limit, about a journey from North Corner Quay at Devonport.〔Ordnance Survey mapping〕 River transport was an important feature of the local farming, mining, tourism and forestry economies.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Welcome to Lopwell )〕
The Queen's Harbour Master for Plymouth〔(Queen's Harbour Master Plymouth )〕 is responsible for managing navigation on the River Tavy up to the normal tidal limit.〔(The Dockyard Port of Plymouth Order 1999 )〕
