About Bideford

Known for

The Long Bridge (medieval, 24 arches, over the Torridge), the quay, the Pannier Market, the setting for Westward Ho! (Charles Kingsley wrote it here), and the self-styled 'Little White Town' of North Devon

A little history

Bideford was one of England's most important ports in the 16th century — Sir Richard Grenville sailed from here to Virginia. The 677-foot Long Bridge, rebuilt in the 15th century, remains the heart of the town. Charles Kingsley lived here while writing Westward Ho!

Local tip

The quay and the Long Bridge walk. The Pannier Market on Tuesdays and Saturdays for North Devon produce. The ferry to Lundy Island departs from Bideford — a day trip like no other.
