River Dart Adventure

The River Dart is the source of much folklore on Dartmoor, where it is traditionally respected and feared - the waters have a tendency to rise without notice following heavy rainfall on the moors above, adding to the dangers of its rapids and powerful currents. This gave rise to the couplet:

 

"River of Dart, Oh River of Dart!

Every year thou claimest a heart."
