The River Erme rises on Dartmoor but here, near Holbeton, its estuary is a ria, or drowned river valley, a geomorphological feature characteristic of the south coast of Devon and Cornwall. This view looks across a salt marsh and the mud of the estuary (it was close to low tide) to Orcheton Wood on the opposite bank.
