The
Walkham is a
river whose source is on
Dartmoor,
Devon,
England. It rises in the wide gap between Roos Tor and
Great Mis Tor and flows almost due south for approximately leaving the tors and thus
National Park behind then south-west for . The river then reaches a village,
Horrabridge, with a small compact network of streets mainly on the south or left bank. It receives most of its tributaries which are unnamed headwaters along its south-flowing inception, draining the near side of two series of six tors (peaks) to the west ending in Pew Tor at 320 metres and likewise to the east ending in Leeden Tor at 389 metres (above mean sea level). In absolute distance, west of the village and the same south of the small well-preserved town of
Tavistock by a footbridge on the
West Devon Way the Walkham joins the
Tavy which discharges into the
Tamar Estuary north of the
Plymouth conurbation after a fast descent around wide hillsides, a few miles south.
