Great Torrington is a small but welcoming market town set in the rolling countryside of North Devon. The town is set in a prominent position over-looking the Torridge valley. Surrounded on three sides by common land gifted to the town in the 12th Century, there are 20 miles of public footpaths that can be enjoyed.
The bustling town centre offers a wide range of day-to-day shops, banks, a library, a Pannier Market and the renowned Plough Arts Centre which offers entertainment to suit all ages and tastes. There is schooling for all ages up to 16 and a variety of sports facilities.
The larger towns of Bideford and Barnstaple are 7 and 13 miles away and provide more extensive retail facilities and leisure opportunities. The city of Exeter is around an hours drive away and benefits from having mainline rail links, a large shopping centre, the Cathedral and university and an international airport.
