GEOPARK FESTIVAL 2023 - Living Fossil Trail

27 May - 4 Jun

Torre Abbey The King's Drive Torquay TQ2 5JE

Follow the Living Fossil Trial around Torre Abbey gardens. Explore our beautiful walled gardens and find plants alive today that were present over a millennia ago.

Our garden is full of history, hiding secrets from before our time. Some of the plants in our garden are examples of living fossils, surviving from long before the rise of today’s dominant plants. Can you find them?

Fossil trail included as part of Torre Abbey admission price.
