The 'Erme' is a
river on
Dartmoor,
Devon,
England. It rises in a remote part of the centre of southern Dartmoor in an area of extensive early
tin mining workings. In places the works are over 15 metres deep showing what was done by hand in those days. It passes through a steep
gorge before entering the town of
Ivybridge and becomes a
ria shortly downstream near
Ermington and
Modbury, entering the
English Channel near
Kingston.
