Dog Notes:

Torrington Common in Devon is an excellent and very popular place for dog walking, with plenty of open space for dogs to run and explore. Dogs can often be off-lead in many areas, but ensure they are under control, especially as the common is used by other walkers and families, wildlife may be present (including deer), and there are steep drops in places. Be mindful of any grazing livestock if present (though less common on the main common areas). Please clean up after your dog to keep the common pleasant for everyone. No specific water sources on the common itself, so bring water if needed for your dog on this Devon walk.
