River Erme and Estuary, Devon
- Located in Devon, South West England, England
- The River Erme rises at Erme Head high on the southern plateau of Dartmoor National Park. Erme Head is south of Crane Hill and south east of Higher Hartor Tor. Other major Devon rivers rising in this part of the National Park include the River Plym, the River Yealm and the River Avon
- The Erme flows south east and then south through the Erme Plains towards Sharp Tor (South Dartmoor) and the moorland village Harford. From there, it moves through Ivybridge on its way to the Erme Estuary on the South Devon coast
- Located within the South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), the Erme Estuary is also a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) on The Flete Estate
- We'd recommend exploring Wonwell Beach and Meadowsfoot (Mothecombe) Beach at the estuary. These beaches are very popular with walkers and families when the tide's out
- The South West Coast Path runs across the estuary. South east of the estuary, along the coast path are Ayrmer Cove, Challaborough Beach, Burgh Island and Bigbury-on-Sea Beach. To the west, if you want a very long walk, visit The Warren (Noss Mayo)
