Overview

Great Torrington has a long and varied history and is mentioned in the 1086 Domesday survey of Devon.

The Normans built a castle and fortifications to take advantage of the defensible position overlooking the valley but in the 12th centaury the town and castle were damaged in the brutal civil war known as the Anarchy.

Torrington was the only town in the region to support King Charles 1 and in February 1646 Sir Thomas Fairfax and his New model army did battle against Lord Hopton.

Discover the history of the Battle of Torrington known as the forgotten battle and walk in the footsteps of some 15000 soldiers who thought there.

Join our history walking tour as we explore the Civil war trail. Hear how the battle unfolded, the strange events, ghosts & Hauntings and the history of some of the iconic buildings of Torrington.
