The North Teign River is one of the two headwaters of the River Teign, rising at Teign Head in the remote heart of the northern moor. It gathers off the blanket bog below Whitehorse Hill and flows generally east past Teignhead Farm and Scorhill before joining the South Teign near Leigh Bridge above Chagford.
Its best known feature is the Tolmen Stone, a large granite boulder in the riverbed near Scorhill through which the water has slowly bored a clean, roughly circular hole. Just upstream stand the Teign-e-ver clapper bridges, where old moorland tracks once crossed the young river. The nearest road access is from Scorhill, west of Gidleigh.
