River Batherm
From Wikishire
The River Batherm is a river which flows through Somerset and Devon, forming the county border for a short while above Petton.
The river rises high in the Brendon Hills of Somerset, near the village of Sperry Barton, between Wimbleball and Clatworthy reservoirs. It flows south between the Brendon Hills and Haddon Hills to meet the Devon border, which it marks from something under a mile, passing Blackwell (Somerset) then wholly into Devon.
The river passes by Petton, and then heads west and south-west to Shillingford and to Bampton, to turn south.[1] About a mile below bampton the Batherm joins the twisting course of the River Exe.
