TAW (The), a river of Devon; rising on Okement hill in Dartmoor; running north-north-eastward, past South Tawton, North Tawton, and Brushford, to the neighbourhood of Lapford; and proceeding north-north-westward, past Chulmleigh, Umberleigh, Bishops-Tawton, and Barnstaple, to a joint embonchure with the Torridge into Bideford bay below Appledore. It has a total course of about 50 miles; it receives the Little Dart at Chulmleigh and the Yeo at New Place; and it is closely followed, all down from Lapford, by the North Devon railway.
