Devon name place names etymology

Place names can often tell you something about somewhere. Like in many parts of the UK, parts of Devon's names can reveal natural features in the land or what a place was used for. Here are a few:
- Combe = Valley
- Berry = Enclosure
- Cott = House
- Tor = Rock tower
Risk overall: Low. This should be easy but take care.
