Situated just outside the fishing village of Appledore, set on a hillside where the River Torridge and Taw meet. The quaint cobbled street village of Appledore is rich in history being centred around ship building and smuggler runs. The North Devon Maritime Museum is well worth a visit or try your hand at crab fishing on the Quay where many traditional fishing boats bob alongside yachts and pleasure boats offering trips across, or along the Estuary. A trip to the pretty 17th century village of Instow is a must, (via foot ferry).

A variety of pubs and restaurants to sample the wide range of locally sourced products and seafood. The Arts and Crafts and local shops will give the option to find unique pieces, the Appledore Crafts Company is also well worth a visit.

There are countless North Devon visits to be made, the traffic free Tarka trail is very popular with cyclists and walkers, allowing the opportunity to enjoy the scenic Devon countryside.

Garden and countryside lovers will enjoy the stunning RHS Rosemoor or Tapeley Gardens and further afield Exmoor National Park offers miles of walking, cycling or horse riding over the rolling landscape with some great country pubs for refreshment.
