[I remember reading something about a Dragon on the West Dart river - I think it may have been in William Crossing's "echoes of an ancient forest", first published as a series in a newspaper at the beginning of the 20th century. He told of a winged serpent. One of the dragons lairs lay on the left hand side of the Wo Brook. The dragon was blamed for taking stock, and those who ventured past Wo Brook might also be eaten, for sheep of humans where much of a muchness. Though no detail is given to how it was achieved the dragon was captured and thrown bound 'hand and foot' into the Dart.
