Dist:0.4km<br/>Yes, I enjoy it when she takes photographs for Geograph, but I wish it was always rivers. If I don't look at her, I won't hear her telling me to get out because I will make the car seat wet.

Dist:0.4km<br/>The viewpoint is in Tarrant Monkton. The southern extent of Tarrant Launceston is marked by the sign at the left of the road. The watercourse is called the Tarrant. The Tarrant also flows through Tarrant Rawston, Tarrant Rushton and Tarrant Keynston. The start of the Tarrant seems to be in Tarrant Gunville, north of Tarrant Hinton and it flows into the River Stour just west of Tarrant Crawford.

Dist:0.5km<br/>The ford through the River Tarrant is a great attraction to youngsters on bicycles and I have been known to paddle through it. Pack horses stopped here on their way from London to Weymouth and their three-arched bridge is still in use for those who don't want to get their feet wet.
