The Location – Mill Street, Great Torrington
Mill Street itself is one of Great Torrington’s most picturesque and historic lanes. Lined with period homes and rich in local lore, it once served as the escape route for Royalist soldiers fleeing westward after their defeat in the Battle of Torrington in 1646. Originally composed entirely of thatched cottages, only two remain today – the characterful Rose Cottage and the Torridge Inn at the bottom of the hill, offering a glimpse into the area’s storied past.
Great Torrington is a vibrant and welcoming market town, perched on a hilltop and surrounded by 365 acres of stunning Commons land. With miles of walking trails right on your doorstep, the town is a haven for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts. The renowned Tarka Trail – a scenic, largely traffic-free cycling and walking route – is easily accessible, meandering through woodland, meadows, and along the River Torridge.

With its community spirit, historic charm, and outstanding natural beauty, Mill Street is more than just a place to live – it’s a place to feel inspired, connected, and at home.
