Part of the Tarka Trail

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

A slot in the side of the canal were used to hold a stop board which was used to isolate a stretch of the canal that was leaking, to allow repairs to be made.

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.

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.

A bench to offer a seat to ease weary legs from the climb, with spectacular views across the Torridge valley.

Large flocks of starlings can be seen in late summer after riding under the bridge. The bridge offers great views along Bideford Quay and on the Torridge Bridge.

A quiet spot to take in the sights of the river Torridge saltmarshes, an ecosystem that supports many special plants and rare invertebrates. Be careful though, the wooden boards can be a bit slippery when wet.

Perfectly preserved bridge with great view all around

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

Muddy, root ridden (no cyclists) path, with bridges and other obstacles to navigate

Easy ride on the path of the old railway line with refreshments at many of the stations that now house cafés for the tourist

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.

Wasn’t open at all on 9/7/21

Pretty old station to stop for food & drink available.

Traffic free for miles! Plenty of places to grab supplies or snacks along the way.

St Michael's is a Grade II-listed church that is steeped in history. The earliest record of a church on the site is 1259 and the oldest surviving parts of the building date to the 13th or 14th century. In February 1646, the bell tower was blown up during the Battle of Torrington in the First English Civil War. The Royalists, who held the town, had stored more than 80 barrels of gunpowder in the church. As the Roundheads captured the town, they shut prisoners in the church and the powder was unwittingly detonated, resulting in many deaths.
