Hexworthy Script error: No such module "IPAc-en".[1] is a hamlet on Dartmoor, in Devon, England. It lies on the West Dart River a mile upstream from Dartmeet. Historically in the parish of Lydford,[2] since 1987 it has been in the civil parish of Dartmoor Forest.
Hexworthy has an inn, the Forest Inn, opened in the 1850s.[3]
Very close to the village, on the opposite bank of the West Dart, is the hamlet of Huccaby, which has a parish church with an unusual dedication to St Raphael.[4]
There was a long history of tin mining near Hexworthy. Tin works in the valley of the O Brook were first recorded in 1240, and the Henroost or Hexworthy Mine did not close until 1919.[5]
