THE AREA Great Torrington Great Torrington is known as the "Cavalier Town." It is a friendly, welcoming town, set in the heart of the rolling, unspoilt green countryside. It has become well recognised as an important heritage centre for the history of the 17th century. Torrington had a significant role in the English civil War, specifically, the Battle of Great Torrington in 1646, which marked the end of the Royalist resistance in the West Country. This led to the eventual defeat and execution of King Charles 1. Look out for Real Ale brewed in the town and sold throughout North Devon known as "Cavalier Beer!" It is also close to the beautiful North Devon and Cornish coastlines.
