Find Self-Catering Holiday Homes in Bideford
From a party town at New Year to a lovely quiet family town – Bideford on the North Devon coast is known for many qualities, from riverside walks to its spacious park and a popular art gallery. Once an important port on the estuary of The River Torridge (it supplied ships to help Drake defeat the Spanish Armada). The Quayside still receives regular visits from maritime vessels. It is lined with welcoming local shops facing the water, scattered with little pastel-coloured houses. The Quay is an embarkation point for the 2-hour ferry trip to Lundy Island, a lovely day trip in spring and summer. Many independent shops in and around Bideford stock fresh-caught fish, local meats and organic produce; another reason to book holiday cottages in Bideford: You'll eat well! As you wander the winding, paved shopping streets, you're more likely to encounter tiny shops from fantastic photography to intricate pottery instead of the usual High St chains.
