History

Torridge Ramblers was established in June 1986 by Frank Young and Keith Hughes. The aim was to walk Torrington paths and byways. Frank and Keith had a particular interest in the history of the area and this was usually discussed on the walks. Eventually the walks became more sociable rather than necessarily informative.

Over the years the group extended the areas walked to include a wider area of Torridge and North Devon including some walks on Exmoor and Dartmoor.

We try to do a mix of walks’ lengths and strenuousness. Usually 2 short (3-5 miles) and one long (7-9 miles) walk each month.
