Places to see in ( Great Torrington - UK )
Great Torrington (often abbreviated to Torrington, though the villages of Little Torrington and Black Torrington are situated in the same region) is a small market town in the north of Devon, England. Parts of it are sited on high ground with steep drops down to the River Torridge below. The centre of the town therefore commands spectacular views, though lower-lying parts are prone to occasional flooding. Torrington is in the very heart of Tarka Country, a landscape captured by Henry Williamson in his novel Tarka the Otter in 1927. Great Torrington has the most active volunteering community in the United Kingdom.
There were Iron Age and medieval castles and forts in Torrington, located on the Castle Hill. Great Torrington had strategic significance in the English Civil War. In the Battle of Torrington (1646), the Parliamentarians, led by Sir Thomas Fairfax, swept into the town and defeated Lord Hopton's forces. This marked the end of Royalist resistance in the West Country. Today the town is recognised as an important heritage centre for the history of the 17th century, and its people can often be seen dressed in costume for historical re-enactments, festivals and celebrations. An interactive Civil War Experience, Torrington 1646, marks the town's historically important role. The Torrington jail was not big enough for more than one man so the Royalists kept all the Parliamentarian prisoners in the church.
The branch line from Barnstaple to Bideford was extended to Great Torrington in July 1872 by the London and South Western Railway, which built a railway station and locomotive depot in the town. The station was always named 'Torrington', not 'Great Torrington'. Mayfair is an annual folk festival believed to date back to 1554 in which the children of Torrington dance around a maypole set up in the town square. The event takes place on the first Thursday in May. The junior school children elect a May Queen and she is crowned in the town square after a procession with attendants. There is then Maypole dancing after which the children go off to the fair.
Torrington Common is an area of common land which surrounds the town on all but the eastern side. The common is administered by a body called The Commons Conservators. The Common covers 365 acres (148 ha) and has over 20 miles (32 kilometres) of public rights of way. The landscape features a variety of habitats and a rich collection of flora and fauna.
Attractions in Great Torrington include:
Dartington Crystal, Factory, Visitors Centre, Glass Shop and Restaurant of Dartington Crystal – the biggest employer in the town and the only major working glass factory in the UK[10]
Rosemoor Garden, a collection of gardens, woodlands and parkland owned by the Royal Horticultural Society
A Victorian pannier market with a glass roof, restored in the early 2000s
Great Torrington Heritage Museum, located next to the pannier market
St Michael and All Angels, an Anglican church whose grounds include a mound said to contain the remains of 60 Civil War Royalist prisoners
The Plough arts centre, a small theatre, cinema and gallery
Great Torrington also has a selection of pubs selling food and a selection of real ales. These include The Torridge Inn, The Black Horse, Torrington Arms, Cavalier, Globe and Royal Exchange. Torrington has a small brewery called Clearwater Brewery with its Cavalier and 1646 brands.
Torrington is served by 43 local bus services mostly operated by Stagecoach South West, however it should be noted that some only operate one way and a number are weekly only service. More information from Traveline South West. Torrington has no direct train services, Barnstaple (11 miles) is served by the Tarka Line from Exeter St David's. One of the countries prettiest scheduled train routes, providing a beautiful entry to North Devon. National Express operate scheduled coach services from London, the Midlands and elsewhere to North Devon, but there are no direct services to Torrington.

The Old Bideford Station
The railway from Barnstaple to Bideford was opened in 1855, but was sadly closed to regular passengers in October 1965 as part of the notorious Beeching Report; the line from Barnstaple/Torrington/Meeth remained open to freight traffic until 1982. Then the railway track was finally lifted in 1985 and converted into the now popular Tarka Trail Footpath & Cycleway.

Lynton and Barnstaple Railway UK. Narrow Gauge Railway. A Look to the Future. North Devon Tourism.
Extension plans are described with views of the railway and the wonderful stock restoration that has been completed. Dedicated, enthusiastic and motivated staff are viewed operating at a very historically exciting time in Lynton and Barnstaple Railway history.
Interest in the Lynton and Barnstaple Narrow Gauge Railway is now intense as the extension has become an extremely important news item around the world of narrow gauge railways and railway preservation.
The completion of the coach preservation projects simply needs to been seen to be appreciated. If this standard of craftsmanship is to be continued, success for the railway can only follow.
Well Done Peco ! ! ! The commitment by Peco Trains to produce the extraordinarily detailed coaches and trucks is to be commended as OO9 scale modelling is just going to have to be a lot bigger than it is at present. Bachmann Trains also have seen the light and have many magical projects in the pipeline for OO9 modelling.
WooWooMad, from this week, is now in 210 countries around the world plus 50 States in America. ( I still can’t believe it how it has expanded in such a short time ! ) I can tell by my stats that interest for narrow gauge railways encircles the globe and I am sure that the fortunes of the Lynton and Barnstaple Narrow Gauge Railway are being followed with the greatest of interest in many countries around the world at this time of the progression of the extension.

Destination Bideford
Charles Kingsley's description of Bideford as The Little White Town, which slopes upward from its broad river tide paints a picturesque one hundred & fifty year old image of the town that has not changed much to the present day.
In fact, if you approach this historic town from East-the-Water you can easily imagine you are being transported back to a time when life wasn't so hectic, and when Bideford was still one of the largest ports and market towns in the country.
This is because many of the houses are still painted white with small cobbled paths and walkways that weave their way in between the houses as they did in Charles Kingsley's day. Bideford's ancient and iconic long bridge still stands proud, spanning the river Torridge and providing a link between the two sides of the town as it has for hundreds of years.
However, Bideford is now definitely in the 21st century with its new Torridge Bridge, its recently enhanced quay area, excellent shopping, a variety of restaurants, and the lively pubs & themed bars where you can eat in or go alfresco.
Then there are the theme parks like The Big Sheep & Atlantis Adventure, The Milky Way and so much more, which adds up to make Bideford a great place to stay in or visit.
So, whether you're travelling on your own, as a couple, in a group or a family, Bideford has a wealth of exciting (or sedate) options that will cater for everyone's pace of life.
You could enjoy a stroll around the town exploring the narrow streets on Bideford's heritage trail and visit the brightly coloured shops along the way, selling local fudge, arts & crafts and fresh local produce.
Or for those of you who enjoy some present day retail therapy, you could pay a visit to the Atlantic Village Shopping Outlet where you can purchase the latest designer clothing, sportswear, household goods and much more.
If you are feeling energetic, you could take a cycle ride or a walk on the Tarka Trail and stop for a spot of lunch and a beer at one of the many traditional pubs along the route, often supplied by acclaimed micro-breweries in the local area.
Alternatively, you could visit the Burton Art Gallery with its Tourist Information Centre, view the various artists' work on display, or peruse the free museum. Then walk around Victoria Park with its excellent colourful floral displays. You could also check out the Kathleen & May, an historic schooner that's harboured at the Brunswick Wharf, just across from Bideford quay. Take a trip to Lundy Island on the MS Oldenburg, the ferry that regularly makes the 14-mile journey to the island and back. This will enable you to see Bideford, Lundy and the surrounding area from a very different perspective.
Or, you could take a swim, surf or kite buggy at Westward Ho!, visit the amusement arcades, or walk along an incredible three-mile stretch of beach which holds blue flag status that's only a five-minute drive from Bideford Town centre.
So, don't take our word for it, make sure you take time to visit this picturesque and unique destination in North Devon, and we'll make sure we give you a warm Bidefordian welcome!

Places to see in ( Mortehoe - UK )
Places to see in ( Mortehoe - UK )
Mortehoe is a village and former manor on the north coast of Devon, England. It lies 10 miles north-west of Barnstaple, near Woolacombe and Lee Bay, and is sited in a valley within the hilly sand-dune-like land behind Morte Point. Mortehoe can trace its origins back to the Domesday Book, and beyond. Always a farming community, in former years it was a base for smugglers and wreckers. Since the coming of the railway, notably the Ilfracombe Branch Line, Mortehoe has become much more dependent on tourism, with numerous camp sites and Holiday camps in the vicinity.
Mortehoe, like most of the surrounding area, is built on a band of Devonian Slates, Sandstones and Igneous rocks such as Basalt. This gives the area a rugged and rocky quality which is typical of North Devon. Mortehoe may be reached by road from two directions: either a steep, narrow lane (20% Gradient) that follows the hilly coast north from Woolacombe; or else a twisty, narrow road from the east. There are regular bus services from Woolacombe and Ilfracombe.
The popularity of this remote corner of Devon was boosted by the coming of the railway in 1874. However, Mortehoe station was nearly two miles inland from the village, so Mortehoe was rather less affected by the additional population than its now much larger neighbour, Woolacombe. The Ilfracombe Branch Line railway closed in 1970.
The Mortehoe Heritage Centre, based in the Cart Linhay building. On the upper floor is a museum of the history of the most north-westerly tip of North Devon. The museum has displays about the local farming communities, the railway, and the numerous shipwrecks that occurred off the treacherous rocks around the nearby coast. The rebuilding of the heritage site was managed by surveyor, and later landlord, Douglas Victor Watkins. Bull Point Lighthouse is a short walk along the South West Coast Path from the centre of the village, and Morte Point is also easily accessible.
