Teign

Definition (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/River_Teign)

The River Teign is a river in the county of Devon, England. Like many Devon rivers, the Teign rises on Dartmoor, near Cranmere Pool. Its course on the moor is crossed by a clapper bridge near Teigncombe (a farm approx. 3 km. W. of Chagford), just below the prehistoric Kestor Settlement. It leaves the moor at its eastern side, flowing beneath Castle Drogo in a steep-sided valley. It then flows southwards at the east edge of the moor. The river becomes tidal at Newton Abbot and reaches the English Channel at Teignmouth. Its estuary is a large ria. (Wikipedia)
