Travel Information and nearby accommodation

A market town on the Torridge River in in north Devon, Bideford has a long history as a seafaring centre. Many of the most impressive historical buildings in the town centre were built by successful ship owners. Bideford Long Bridge, built in 1474, uses no less than 23 arches to span the river, joining Bideford to 'East the Water' on the far side. Author Charles Kingsley wrote much of his most famous work, 'Westward Ho!' in the Royal Hotel in Bideford.
