Shavercombe Head, Sheepstor, Dartmoor National Park

Langcombe Hill is a huge, flat area of moorland on Dartmoor's high south moor. Many rivers and brooks rises on its flanks. Erme Head is to the north. Yealm Head is to the south. Shavercombe Head is to the west.

From its headwaters, Shavercombe Brook runs down to Shavercombe Waterfall and Shavercombe Tor before meeting the River Plym below Drizzle Combe. There's a wide ford on the Plym at this point.
