The East Dart River is one of the two main
tributaries of the River Dart in Devon
, England.
Its source is to the west of Whitehorse Hill and slightly south of Cranmere Pool on Dartmoor. It flows south and then south-west for around 9 km to reach the village of Postbridge where it is spanned by a well-known clapper bridge.
Just above Postbridge the river drops around 2 metres in a short distance and the point is referred to as "Waterfall".
It continues south past
West Dart.[1]
