Great Torrington is located approximately 3 miles from Stevenstone and offers an excellent range of amenities, tourist attractions and leisure pursuits. These include butchers, bakeries, fruit and vegetable shop, banks, Somerfield, pet shop, hairdresser, primary and secondary schools, places of worship, rhs Rosemoor Gardens and Dartington Crystal are also located within Torrington.
