Torrington
Great Torrington (commonly 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 town vulnerable to occasional flooding. Torrington remains in the centre of Tarka Country, a landscape caught by Henry Williamson in his novel Tarka the Otter in 1927. Great Torrington has one of one of the most energetic volunteering neighborhoods in the United Kingdom. In July 2019, Great Torrington was reported to be the healthiest location to reside in Britain. Scientists from the College of Liverpool discovered that the location had reduced levels of contamination, good access to green area and also health services, along with few retail electrical outlets.
