Descriptive Gazetteer Entry for HANNON (THE)

HANNON (THE), a stream in Cornwall; descending 4½ miles south-westward, from Davidstow moor, to the Camel, 2½ miles S of Camelford. Its bed was ripped open by the torrent of a water spout in 1847, and is now flanked by bare rocks of granite and quartz; and the lower part of its vale is overhung by two isolated crags, called the Devil's Jump.
