The Torrs were once a natural bluff around which the river swirled but now show a face that has been shaped by man. The little group assembled here is preparing to start a climb up the rock face. Not a manicured public park but looking at this picture it is not easy to envisage a bustling small town just beyond the trees visible at the top of the cliff.
