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.

Nice big car park.

Today, all that remains of Petrockstow station is a platform. It was originally built to serve the clay pits and quarries in the area, it then went on to be used as part of the local Light Railway. Its use as a railway station ended with the Beeching Cuts but it lives on as part of the Tarka Trail – a long-distance foot and cycle path.

There are a few sculptures along the Tarka Trail and this one is of Tarka the Otter himself. It has a stunning mosiac and a concave body. Standing peacefully at the side of the path, it can come as quite a surprise if you're daydreaming.
