THE ROLLE CANAL
and Northern Devon Waterways Society
The Rolle Canal, also known as the Torrington Canal, was a tub-boat
canal in North Devon. The canal linked Great Torrington to the
River Torridge, three miles above Bideford. Opened in 1827, it was
closed in 1871, but there's still lots to see if you know where to look.
