Barnstaple Yeo

[1][2] It is one of several rivers of the same name, including another tributary of the Taw, the Lapford Yeo.

The Barnstaple Yeo rises on Berry Down, south of Combe Martin,[3] and flows south through the grounds of Arlington Court and past the village of Chelfham and into the River Taw at Barnstaple.

[4][5] The last mile of the river is tidal and prone to flooding both when in spate, but also from the sea.

A plan has been put forward to divert the river through an 82 feet (25 m) channel in Pilton Park in Barnstaple to alleviate extreme flooding events.
