(17/07/1990) Clampitt leat (citing personal comment, P. Mears, undated), SX 6809 8584 to SX 6829 8712 (depicted on OS 1/2500). This leat, starting on the South Teign River, still provides the water supply for West Coombe Farm. Stone lined in places with a settling pond a SX 6824 8699 it measures around 1.0m wide and 0.4m deep. Only the course of the leat within West Coombe farm was investigated.
A blowing house (SX 68 NE 59) lies at SX 6821 8658, near the course of the leat just outside the farm. It seems likely that the leat within West Coombe is an extension of the earlier Blowing house leat. This extension probably dates from the later 19th century when the farm was extensively refurbished.
