Torrington
Great Torrington (usually shortened to Torrington, though the villages of Little Torrington as well as Black Torrington are situated in the very same region) is a tiny market town in the north of Devon, England. Parts of it are sited on high ground with steep fall to the River Torridge below, with the lower-lying parts of the community susceptible to periodic flooding. Torrington remains in the centre of Tarka Country, a landscape recorded by Henry Williamson in his unique Tarka the Otter in 1927. Great Torrington has one of one of the most energetic volunteering areas in the UK. In July 2019, Great Torrington was reported to be the healthiest place to live in Britain. Scientists from the University of Liverpool found that the area had reduced degrees of contamination, good access to green area as well as health services, in addition to few retail electrical outlets.
