The canal linked Torrington to the tidal lock at Rolle Quay, Landcross, and was used to transport lime from Wales. Construction of this 7 mile route started in 1823 and was officially opened in 1827.

The path follows the route of the towpath used by horses, and runs from the Tarka Trail near Beam House to Reeds Field at the edge of Torrington Common.
