About Totnes

  • Totnes was one of the first Transition Towns in the world, launching the Transition Town Totnes initiative in 2006 as a community-led response to peak oil and climate change. The movement, which began in Totnes, has since spread to thousands of communities in over 50 countries. The town has a strong culture of sustainability, local food production, and community enterprise, and is home to numerous social enterprises, cooperatives, and environmental projects.
  • Totnes Castle is one of the best-preserved examples of a Norman motte-and-bailey castle in England. Built shortly after the Norman Conquest, the castle sits on a prominent mound above the town and offers panoramic views over the Dart Valley and Dartmoor. The castle is managed by English Heritage and is open to visitors throughout the year.
  • The Totnes Pound, a local complementary currency, was launched in 2007 as part of the Transition Town initiative and was one of the first local currencies in the UK. The currency was accepted by local businesses as a way of keeping money circulating within the local economy. Although the Totnes Pound ceased trading in 2019, it inspired dozens of similar local currency schemes across the UK and became a model for community economic resilience.
