DART (The), a river of Devon. It rises near Cranmere pool, in Dartmoor forest; and runs about 35 miles, south-eastward, past Buckfastleigh, Dartington, Totnes, and Asprington, to the sea at Dartmouth haven. It takes its name from the rapidity of its current; flows much on a rocky channel, through fine scenery; and is estuarial, about 10½ miles, from Totnes to the sea.
