Halsdon is the favourite nature reserve of many Devon Wildlife Trust members. It holds many attractions. Open hillside pasture edged by gorse bushes, paths through woodland, riverside meadows, the deserted ruins of a water-mill, all are here, along with a fine stretch of one of Devon’s grandest rivers, the Torridge.
