We are an active friendly club and look forward to welcoming visiting teams. Our Club and Green are situated in rural North Devon, a short distance from the centre of Great Torrington, with panoramic views overlooking the Torridge valley below. Great Torrington Bowling Club was founded in 1645 during the English Civil War and is believed to be the third oldest club in England.
The green is sited on Castle Hill in the old castle grounds and the castellated wall surrounding it was constructed by Lord Rolle in about 1846 for the town. The club changing room used to be in the gazebo in the corner of the ground then a wooden club house was erected by the members later to be replaced with a permanent brick built building.
