The East Webburn is a 5-mile (8 km) stream in the Dartmoor moors in Devon in south-west England. It rises on the western side of the moors, flowing off the west side of Hameldown ridge.[1] Its source is around 1⁄2 mile (0.80 km) southwest of Grimspound Bronze Age settlement. It flows south past Widecombe-in-the-Moor and joins the West Webburn River at Lizwell Meet in Oakmoor Wood.[2] These combined streams then join the River Dart close to the village of Holne.
