The Tavy () is a river on Dartmoor , Devon , England . The name derives from the Brythonic root "Tam", once thought to mean 'dark' but now generally understood to mean 'to flow'.[1] Mary Tavy and Peter Tavy .
It is a tributary of the River Tamar and has as its own tributaries: Collybrooke , River Burn , River Wallabrooke , River Lumburn , and River Walkham . At Tavistock it feeds a canal running to Morwellham Quay .
Its mouth is crossed by the Tavy Bridge which carries the Tamar Valley railway line .
Navigation

Kayaking on the Tavy.
The river is navigable inland as far as Lopwell , where a weir marks the normal tidal limit , about a 9-mile (14 km ) journey from North Corner Quay at Devonport .[2] [3] [4]
