  River Erme - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Erme is a river on Dartmoor, Devon, England.
It passes through a steep gorge before entering the town of Ivybridge and becomes a ria shortly downstream near Ermington and Modbury, entering the English Channel at Kingston.

 River Erm   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
From here on the river is pool-drop in nature, with the drops mostly narrow and twisting chutes through rock ledges.
Below Ivybridge the river is pretty much flat with weirs, and more importantly, salmon spawning gravels, so the access agreement applies only to the Harford Bridge to Ivybridge section.
Under the viaduct (you can't miss it) the river becomes very narrow, and in high water this section is very continuous.

 Ivybridge - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It gained its name from a 13th century hump-backed bridge over the River Erme and is on the southern extremity of Dartmoor, overlooked by Pen Beacon.
In the 2001 census Ivybridge had a population of over 12,000 and is among the fastest growing towns in Europe.
Not formally recognised as a town until 1977, Ivybridge originally grew as a mill town exploiting the hydropower of the River Erme, and as a staging post on the Exeter to Plymouth road, which became the A38, though this now bypasses the town to the south as a dual carriageway trunk road.

 Erme and Yealm
The track ran quite close to the river and was still a good wide track, although there were some large puddles which needed to be avoided.
To the east, across the other side of the river we passed by first Left Lake and then Dry Lake with evidence of mine workings and the streams running down to feed and swell the Erme.
Once across the brook we were still paralleling the Erme although it was further away from us than before and we were now starting the harder section of the walk.

 Erme Estuary   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
As part of an on-going archaeological study into the estuary of the river Erme in Devon, UK, a remote sensing survey was undertaken.
The aim of the survey was to look for the remains of a number of vessels reported to have sunk in or near the estuary, notably HMS Pygmy in 1793.
As well as the Swedish wreck, 44 Tin ingots thought to date from the Roman period had been found on West Mary rocks and their source was not explained.

 Walk #330: Aveton Gifford to Noss Mayo
It was fairly windy, however, and by the time that I had crossed the River Erme the wind had also bought heavier cloud over, and it started to rain.
I was in a hurry to reach the River Erme, as I wanted to reach it at about low tide so that I could wade across it, saving a seven-mile diversion around the estuary.
There was a lady on the other side of the river who had a couple of golden retrievers, and these were bounding into the water after thrown sticks in one place and getting across without swimming, so I could see that that place was shallow, so with no further ado I strode in.

By the 18th century, Ivybridge was a small, thriving community based around the former London Hotel, which was a coaching inn on the Exeter to Plymouth road.

The River Erme rises 430 metres above sea level on the Stall Moor mires of south Dartmoor and makes its 15 mile journey to the sea passing through Ivybridge and Ermington, before reaching the estuary mouth at Wonwell and Mothecombe.
The estuary of the Erme is tidal up as far as the weir at Flete, 3½ miles inland just below the A379.Like the other estuaries of South Devon, the original deep river valley has been inundated by later sea level rise, with the tide flooding in to create a wide expanse of water.
An estuary management plan has been published for the Erme covering the five year period 2003-2008.

 Ivybridge, Hangershell Rocks
The Erme still had a fair amount of water in it as it flowed down over the boulders and in places the footpath was muddy as well as slightly difficult with the exposed roots of trees.
Unfortunately, early in the walk one of the lady walkers slipped and damaged her wrist on the footpath in the vicinity of Pithill Farm.
Just below us flowed the River Erme and since we had parked on both sides of the Erme below the Paper Mill the walk was at an end for some but for others, down over a bridge and up the other side to their cars just by the entrance to the woodland walk.

We were down by the river and lunch was planned at Hangershell Rocks approaching 2 miles south of the wood and several hundred feet higher.

Tumbling from the moors, the River Erme has formed the lifeblood of the town.

Crossing the river at the northern end of the town centre is the medieval packhorse bridge, the “Ivy Bridge”, a feature immortalised by a number of important artists including J M W Turner.

Significant amounts of gold have been found in drainage sediment at several localities in the area of south Devon bounded on the east by the estuary and the lower part of the River Erme and on the west by Plymouth Sound.
Grains with silver-rich rims are much less common than in drainage and overburden samples from east of the River Erme.
Associated with the dendritic gold from southwest of Holbeton are dendritic, elongate knobbly and subrounded grains rich in either Pt or Pd or both, forming around 5% of the total.

Luckily it was a cloudless night and the moon lit his way better than a lantern.
Up the river he went, past the stunted oaks of Piles Copse, across by the old stone row known as the dancers, on along Erme Plains, up past the Erme Cattle pound and eventually tired and breathless he reached the tinner's workings of Erme Pits.
From here he crossed the river and headed north, but could he find the pool?
