View down the River Meavy towards Sharpitor and Leather Tor

The river Meavy is a river in the SW part of Dartmoor in Devon in south-west England. It is about 10 km or 6 miles long and flows in a generally south-westerly direction throughout its course. It rises at Meavy Head, close to Princetown, and flows across Walkhampton Common, through Norsworthy and adjacent plantations, and into Burrator Reservoir. It leaves the reservoir at the main dam, and flows past the village of Meavy before joining the River Plym at the upper end of Bickleigh Vale.^[1]
