Members' Event:
Battlefield walk - The Battle of Great Torrington (1646)
DATE
Sun 15 Feb 2026
TIME10am - 12pm
LOCATION
Great Torrington
SUITABLE FORAdults
Join Julian Humphrys of the Battlefields Trust on a walk designed to take a closer look at one of the most important and dramatic battles in English history.
The Battle of Torrington was one of the last battles of the Civil War of 1642-46. It's chiefly remembered today for the fact that Torrington Church (which was being used as a gunpowder store during the battle) blew up, killing Royalists and Roundheads alike and showering the combatants with debris.
This event has been graded as moderate access as there will be plenty of walking with limited resting points and no seating.
Not suitable for under-16s.
