Hexworthy
00, British Rail (Western), 8 by 3.5 feet
Hexworthy Halt is in the valley of
the River Swincombe near Sherberton about ¾ miles from the hamlet's centre.
Hexworthy, with a population of about 250 is the largest 'high Dartmoor' hamlet
served by the railway. It was a mining hamlet but now depends on tourism and
farming. There are several granite quarries in the area and one has been
reopened & enlarged to provide ballast for the railway and aggregate for the
building trade. Passengers would be a mix of locals and tourists.
