Badgworthy Water is a small river which flows through Malmsmead on Exmoor, close to the border between Devon and Somerset, England.


It merges with Oare Water to become the East Lyn River.[1][2][3]


On the banks of the river are the remains of a few dwellings which formed a medieval village. The last resident left in the 1820s.[4][5]


The 17th century packhorse Malmsmead Bridge crosses Badgworthy Water, alongside an even older ford.[6]


The valley is associated with the book Lorna Doone.[1][7][8]


It has been used for canoeing and includes grade 2 and 3 rapids,[9] walking[10] and fly fishing.[11]
