    The authors define an almost twistorial structure on a smooth manifold to be a locally trivial fibre space over that manifold, equipped with a complex distribution which induces almost complex structures on each fibre. This notion provides a unified framework for all known examples of twistor spaces. In the smooth category, a twistor on a manifold \(M\) is a pair consisting of an immersed submanifold and a linear CR-structure on its normal bundle. The paper contains twistorial characterisations of harmonic morphisms between Weyl spaces of dimensions \(4\) and \(3\). Moreover, the authors describe the twistorial maps with \(1\)-dimensional fibres from \(4 \)-dimensional Weyl spaces endowed with the almost twistorial structure of [\textit{J. Eells} and \textit{S. Salamon}, Ann. Sc. Norm. Super. Pisa, Cl. Sci., IV. Ser. 12, 589--640 (1985; Zbl 0627.58019)]. [For Part I, cf. \textit{E. Loubeau} and \textit{R. Pantile}, Commun. Anal. Geom. 14, No. 5, 847--881 (2006; Zbl 1127.58010).]
