East Bovey Head, Postbridge, Dartmoor National Park
The River Bovey rises on the edge of Dartmoor's high moorland and arcs past the luxury hotel Bovey Castle and North Bovey village before cutting the stunning Bovey Valley as it flows to Bovey Tracey. Beyond the National Park border, it meets the River Teign where the combined river runs east to the Teign Estuary and the English Channel.
Up on the high moorland, according to the Ordnance Survey Explorer OL28 'Dartmoor' map, the East Bovey Head is situated near English Heritage's Grimspound and within easy walking distance of The Warren House Inn. The Two Moors Way runs just south of the East Bovey Head. The B3212 cuts across the river near its headwaters.

Note. The East Bovey Head is marked on the Ordnance Survey Explorer OL28 'Dartmoor' map. The Harvey British Mountain Map 'Dartmoor' map refers to the same area as Curlicombe Brook. The Harvey map has the Boveycombe Head close to The Warren House Inn.
