The Wallabrook Bridge on Dartmoor

The Walla Brook is a short river on the high moorland of Dartmoor, in Devon, and an early tributary of the North Teign

The brook rises at Walla Brook Head in the midst of the moor, on Hangingstone Hill, on or close by which top are found the sources of several of Devon's rivers: the eastbound Teign, the northbound Taw and Okement, the south-east-bound Dart and the south-west flowing Tavy.

The brook flows initially north off the hill, then loops around to meet the North Teign just below the Wallabrook Bridge, a clapper bridge.
