What is River Taw?
The '''River Taw''' is one of two major rivers in north [[Devon]]. It rises at ''Taw Head'', a spring on the central northern flanks of [[Dartmoor]]. Then it crosses north Devon and runs close to the sea at the town of [[Barnstaple]], formerly a significant port. Then it empties into Bideford Bay in the [[Bristol Channel]]. It has a large [[estuary]] of wide [[meander]]s which is joined by the estuary of the [[River Torridge|Torridge]]. [[Category:Rivers of Devon|Taw]] {{multistub|geo|UK}}
