Taw Head, Belstone, Dartmoor National Park
There's a large area of flat, boggy moorland on Dartmoor's north moor where many of Devon's most famous rivers rise. The headwaters of the River Taw can be found there. Whilst most Dartmoor visitors avoid the headwaters of the National Park's rivers, the start of the River Taw can get relatively busy. It's on a popular route to Cranmere Pool and is also near the Ted Hughes Memorial Stone.
We've positioned Taw Head on Google maps so zoom in on the 'Satellite' setting to see its location.
See our listings for the River Taw, Cranmere Pool, Hangingstone Hill and the Ted Hughes Memorial Stone for more information on the area.
The East Dart River rises to the south. The West Okement River rises to the west. The East Okement River rises to the north and Walla Brook to the east.
