	River Taw - TvWiki, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		River Taw rises at Taw Head, a spring on the central northern flanks of Dartmoor.
		Slowly picking up headwaters from rivers such as the Mole that rise on Devon's other upland area, Exmoor, the river increases in size and becomes a recreational trout river before becoming tidal at Newbridge, approximately 12 miles from the sea.
		Seawards of Barnstaple, the river's journey is blocked by the large dune complex of Braunton Burrows, hence its late diversion south-westward and shared entry with the Torridge across Zulu Bar sandbanks and out into Barnstaple (or Bideford) Bay.
