West Dart River


The West Dart River is one of the two main tributaries of the River Dart in Devon, England.
Its source is about 2 km north of Rough Tor on north Dartmoor. It flows south to Two [Bridges, Devon|Two Bridges], then south east past Hexworthy to meet the East Dart River at Dartmeet.
On the left bank of the river about a mile above Two Bridges is the broadleaved Wistman's Wood, "fascinating high-level woods that are quite unlike anywhere else".
Tributaries include the Cowsic River which rises near List of [Dartmoor tors and hills|Devils Tor] and flows south below Lydford Tor, to join the West Dart at Two Bridges. Other right bank tributaries include the Blackbrook River, River Swincombe and the O Brook. The Cherry Brook joins the West Dart on the left bank near Sherberton.
