Walk Description:

Meet at the FREE car park adjacent to the Puffing Billy Café, Great Torrington. Post code EX388JD

We’ll kick start our senses (and our body) with a warm up in the shelter of the road bridge/platform before entering Torrington Common via the main road.

We will follow the centenary path down to and cross the centenary bridge. Here we will follow the pathway along the almost hidden babbling common lake stream and skirt around the mini lakes until we reach the junction with the main track running through the common. Once again we will head down to the stream crossing the old stone bridge and continue to follow the path alongside the cemetery wall & up to the Old Bowling Green.

Along the way we have the opportunity to observe at first hand nature at its best while taking in the sights and sounds of the birds/squirrels and other wildlife going about their business.

Once at the Old Bowling Green we will cross the main road and pick up the pathway to our right which leads us nicely back to the Puffing Billy where we will complete our cooldown and maybe enjoy some light refreshments.
