Hexworthy, Dartmoor
The hamlet of Hexworthy, which is in the centre of Dartmoor, lies on the West Dart River, a mile upstream from Dartmeet. We have had a very pleasant lunch on several occasions at its Forest Inn, which opened in the 1850s. There is a long history of tin mining near Hexworthy. Tin works in the valley of the O Brook (sic), which is a minor tributary of the West Dart, were first recorded in 1240. The Henroost or Hexworthy Mine did not close until 1919.
Hexworthy is on a narrow country lane just over a mile to the north-west of Combestone Tor. To its east is Venford Reservoir, while to the north-east the lane joins the B3357 about half a mile west of Dartmeet.
