Lapford Yeo
The Lapford Yeo, also known as the River Yeo, is a tributary of the River Taw in Devon, England. It is one of several rivers of the same name, including another tributary of the Taw, the Barnstaple Yeo. The Lapford Yeo also flows within 2 miles of the headwaters of another River Yeo, which is a tributary of the River Creedy. The Lapford Yeo rises near South Tawton. It flows north through Bow and Zeal Monachorum to Lapford. It joins the Taw 1.5 miles below Lapford, just below Nymet Bridge.

Several Nymet place-names remain in the area, including Nymet Tracey and Nymet Rowland Nymet Rowland is a small village, and civil parish of the same name, in ...
