Higher Doomsford Crossing / River Taw This photo is taken on the Exeter to Barnstaple railway branch line, looking North. The railway, completed in 1854, runs next to the River Taw for this stretch. This was taken in the flood of October 2000. The railway acts as a levee protecting the crossing keeper's cottage.

Junction Pool The River Mole (straight ahead) meets the River Taw at Junction Pool. The former draws from the SW slopes of Exmoor, the latter from the North slopes of Dartmoor. In big storms, the Taw becomes a raging red river from here down.

Junction Pool is the setting for one of the chapters of Tarka the Otter.
