Dartington Crystal in Great Torrington
The great and justfiably famous Dartington Crystal glass factory in Torrington is one of the best attractions in Devon, a county full of great tourist sites .
Dartington rivals those other outstanding glassmakers Corning in the USA and Svarovski in Austria. The quality of its glass and crystal wares must be seen to be believed
When you've taken the factory tour, seen the glass blowers at work and maybe had your own hand modelled in glass, relax in the cafe, eat a locally produced ice cream or drink a first rate cup of coffee.
The factory outlet sells everything from exquisite and wonderfully expensive crystal to funny little glass souvenirs. In my experience, you won't be able to resist these little gems.
Just a short walk from the centre of town
