Great Torrington · Tarka Trail
Puffing Billy
Why we stop here
Parked at the old Torrington station right on the Tarka Trail. A classic refuel: tea, cake and plenty of company in lycra.
Getting there by bike
Puffing Billy is in Great Torrington (Tarka Trail). Make a day of it: The Glorious Oyster and Yarde Orchard are on the same patch.

Taken from their website in October 2026. Cafés change their hours with the seasons and shut for the odd holiday, so check their own site before you set off. We'd hate to be the reason for an avoidable bonk.
