Meeth Halt (disused), near to Meeth, Devon, Great Britain. The North Devon and Cornwall Junction Light Railway.

Meeth is a small village roughly 13.5 km (8.4 mi) north-northwest of Okehampton and 40.7 km (25.3 mi) west-northwest of Exeter.[1] It lies to the west of the River Torridge. In the past, clay mines were a major source of employment in the village, lying just to the west, however these have closed. The Tarka Trail passes through the town, and goes down to the River Torridge. The town is also notable for being the home of Hookways Holidays,now sadly no more, a coach firm providing tours and National Express services.
