リトル・トーリントンのおすすめランニングルート

Great cafe in a good cycling area, with loads of outside space for big groups.

The roving bridge used to carry the driveway to Beam House, and was used by horses to cross over the canal to the towpath on the other side without unhitching. The bridge underwent restoration in 2000 by Lord Clinton.

Climb up to Frithelstock Stone.

Lovely traffic free well kept and well used path mostly following the rivers with several snack/coffee stops along the way

Lovely cafe in old station on the NCN27

Just south of the town on the edge of Torrington Common, there are glorious views across to the farmland near Taddiport. There are benches up here and a car park so it makes a great place to start and finish a run. Plus plenty of facilities in Great Torrington itself. If you're coming up from the river its a steep climb up but the views are worth it.

North of Great Torrington, the Torrington Commons was once a waste ground, gifted to the people of the town. Now it boasts 20 miles of footpaths and ancient woodlands. From up here you can also enjoy beautiful views over the valley of the River Torridge.

The Tarka Trail takes in two loops of stunning Devonshire countryside from Barnstaple. Largely a walking route, Great Torrington lies on a 30 mile section where cycling is also permitted between Braunton and Meeth. It follows the path of a disused railway line so memories of its former life are ever present in the tunnels and viaducts that make the trail so interesting.
