The River Otter
The River Otter rises in the Blackdown Hills just inside the
county of Somerset, near Otterford, then flows south for some 32
km through East Devon to the English Channel at the western end
of Lyme Bay. The Permian and Triassic sandstone aquifer in the
Otter Valley is one of Devon's largest groundwater sources,
supplying drinking water to 200,000 people.
