West Dart River, Tributary river in Dartmoor National Park, Devon, England.

The West Dart River extends 16.25 kilometers from its source near Rough Tor, flowing southwards through granite landscapes to meet the East Dart at Dartmeet.

The river's course has remained unchanged since ancient settlements first established along its banks, shaping the development of local communities through centuries.

Local folklore contains numerous tales about supernatural beings inhabiting Wistman's Wood, an ancient oak forest situated along the river's left bank.

Multiple access points exist along the river, including Two Bridges and Dartmeet, with designated parking areas and marked walking trails for visitors.

The river drops 330 meters in elevation from its source to its confluence, creating multiple natural pools and small waterfalls along its course.
