The Salterns
Bideford
A popular holiday destination, market and port town, Bideford has gradually grown to cover land on both sides of the River Torridge.
Just a stone's throw from the Saltern Estuary are the unique amenities of North Devon, including Bideford's thriving shopping centre and historic Pannier Market.
Bideford is also enviably located for exploring the sights of North Devon's countryside and coastline. The famous Tarka Trail, a 180 mile series of cyclepaths and footpaths which loop through North and Mid Devon, passes through Bideford, offering a variety of landscapes including wooded river valleys, rugged moorland, coastal cliffs, and sandy bays.
One of the most picturesque and photographed locations, Clovelly, is only approximately 13 miles away too, and boat trips to the nature rich Lundy Island leave Bideford Quay regularly.
