Tor Burn is a small moorland stream in Devon, flowing through rugged upland terrain with characteristic peaty water and rocky substrate. The burn offers intimate fly fishing opportunities for brown trout in its clear, fast-flowing sections, though its modest size limits both catch numbers and angler access in places.

Beyond the rod licence, fishing rights on Tor Burn are typically held by local angling clubs — check with the relevant club or day ticket provider before visiting.
