About

Two Rivers & Three Moors is a large, rural ward in the north of the Torridge district. Its name references the geography, with the River Torridge and River Taw flowing through its parishes. The area encompasses scattered villages and hamlets set within an expansive agricultural landscape of fields and hedgerows. The terrain includes stretches of the open moorland for which North Devon is known.

The ward includes the historic market town of Great Torrington, situated high above the River Torridge. A specific local tradition involves the town's annual May Fair, which includes the ceremony of 'Riding the Bounds' to check parish markers. Economic activity is largely based on farming, alongside smaller tourism and light industry. The area provides a quiet, sparsely populated counterpoint to Devon's coastal resorts.
