North Wood (The Dewerstone area), Shaugh Prior, Dartmoor National Park

The Dewerstone Valley is one of Dartmoor's most beautiful steep-sided valleys. It's cut by the River Plym as it flows between Cadover Bridge to the north east and Shaugh Bridge to the south west. Up by Cadover Bridge is North Wood.

We've positioned North Wood on Google maps. Zoom in on the 'Satellite' setting to see its location. To visit for the first time, head for the large car parking area at Cadover Bridge. Follow the path along the southern bank of the river and you'll come to a National Trust sign for North Wood as pictured.

North Wood, and the Dewerstone Valley, provide great views and walks. We'd recommend trying the Dewerstone Valley Circular Walk.

The wood is also popular with day visitors and wild swimmers wanting to take a dip in the water.
