Discovering Appledore and visiting one of the friendliest museums in England.
Was wonderful watching the students going from room to room in the North Devon Maritime Museum finding things out. In fact two girls wrote in their diaries that they wished they had had more time to finish it properly. Appledore is a lovely little fishing village which still has a shipyard which builds ships.

Appledore is a village at the mouth of the River Torridge, about 6 miles west of Barnstaple and about 3 miles north of Bideford in the county of Devon, England. It is home to Appledore Shipbuilders, a lifeboat slipway and Hocking's Ice Cream, a brand of ice cream only sold in North Devon. The local football club is Appledore F.C.
The Bideford, Westward Ho! and Appledore Railway (B,WH&A,R) was most unusual amongst British railways in that although it was built as a standard gauge line (4 ft 8½in) it was not joined to the rest of the railway network, despite the London and South Western Railway having a station at Bideford, East-the-Water, meaning on the other side of the River Torridge from the main town. The line was wholly situated on the peninsula made up of Westward Ho!, Northam and Appledore with extensive sand dunes, at the mouth of the Torridge and Taw estuary. Appledore railway station and the whole line closed in 1917 having been requisitioned by the War Office (Stuckey 1962).
A lifeboat service for the area around the mouth of the River Taw was introduced in February 1825. The boat was kept in the King's Watch House at Appledore for six years until a new boat house was built at Watertown, half a mile nearer the sea. From 1848 a second lifeboat was stationed at Braunton Burrows on the opposite side of the estuary but its crew always came from Appledore. A third station was built at Northam Burrows to the west of Appledore in 1851 and the Appledore boat moved there. A new station at Badsteps allowed Northam Burrows to close in 1889 and Braunton Burrows closed in 1918 as it was difficult to find men and horses to launch the boat. Appledore Lifeboat Station was rebuilt in 2001 and is home to an inshore lifeboat; a larger all-weather boat is kept moored just off shore.
Appledore is served by First Devon and Cornwall service 2, and Stagecoach Devon service 21A which both run between Appledore, Northam, Bideford, East the Water, Instow, Fremington, Bickington, Barnstaple station, Barnstaple, Chivenor, Braunton, Knowle, Mullacott Cross and Ilfracombe.

This Young Roots project was funded by The Heritage Lottery fund.
Walter's Emporium in Appledore.
I met Walter three weeks ago in Appledore while wandering around eating fish and chips and seeking out Hocking's ice cream factory. I thought it would be great to bring students here and together with the lifeboat, the North Devon Maritime Museum and the lovely Irsha street it makes for a wonderful few hours in a very beautiful village on the estuary of the Taw and the Torridge rivers. Even though it was raining most of the students really enjoyed it.

Places to see in ( Dunster - UK )
Dunster is a village, civil parish and former manor within the English county of Somerset, today just within the north-eastern boundary of the Exmoor National Park. It lies on the Bristol Channel coast 2.5 miles (4 km) south-southeast of Minehead and 20 miles (32 km) northwest of Taunton.
Iron Age hillforts testify to occupation of the area for thousands of years. The village grew up around Dunster Castle which was built on the Tor by the Norman warrior William I de Moyon (d. post 1090) shortly after the Norman Conquest of 1066. The Castle is mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086. From that time it was the caput of the Feudal barony of Dunster. The Castle was remodelled on several occasions by the Luttrell family who were lords of the manor from the 14th to 20th centuries. The benedictine Dunster Priory was established in about 1100. The Priory Church of St George, dovecote and tithe barn are all relics from the Priory.
The village became a centre for wool and cloth production and trade, of which the Yarn Market, built by George Luttrell (d.1629), is a relic. There existed formerly a harbour, known as Dunster Haven, at the mouth of the River Avill, yet today the coast having receded is now about 0.5 miles (0.80 km) from the village and no sign of the harbour can be seen on the low lying marshes between the village and the coast. Dunster has a range of heritage sites and cultural attractions which combine with the castle to make it a popular tourist destination with many visitors arriving on the West Somerset Railway, a heritage railway running from Minehad to Bishops Lydeard. The village lies on the route of the Macmillan Way West, Somerset Way and Celtic Way Exmoor Option.
Dunster is mentioned as a manor and Dunster Castle as belonging to William I de Moyon (alias de Moion, also de Mohun) in the 1086 Domesday Book. After the Norman conquest of England in the 11th century, he constructed a timber castle on the site as part of the pacification of Somerset. A stone shell keep was built on the motte by the start of the 12th century, and the castle survived a siege during the early years of the Anarchy. At the end of the 14th century the de Mohuns sold the castle to the Luttrell family, who continued to occupy the property until the late 20th century.
Dunster Castle was positioned on a steep, 200-foot (61 m) high hill. Geologically, the hill is an outcrop of Hangman Grits, a type of red sandstone. During the early medieval period the sea reached the base of the hill, close to the mouth of the River Avill, offering a natural defence and making the village an inland port. Nearby is the Dunster Park and Heathlands Site of Special Scientific Interest noted for nationally important lowland dry heath, dry lowland acid grassland, wood-pasture with veteran trees and ancient semi-natural oak woodland habitats.
Dunster, in Exmoor National Park, has many listed buildings including 200 Grade II, two Grade I and two Grade II*. The 17th century Yarn Market is a market cross which was probably built in 1609 by the Luttrell family who were the local lords of the manor to maintain the importance of the village as a market, particularly for wool and cloth. Nearby was an older cross known as the Butter Cross which was constructed in the late 14th or early 15th century and once stood in the High Street.
Other notable buildings include the Nunnery, Dunster Watermill, Dovecote and the Priory barn, which belonged to Dunster Priory. Dunster Working Watermill (also known as Castle Mill) is a restored 18th century watermill, situated on the River Avill, close to Gallox Bridge, in the grounds of Dunster Castle. It is a Grade II* listed building. Conygar Tower is a folly used as a landmark for shipping. It is at the top of Conygar Hill and overlooks the village. It is a circular, 3 storey tower built of red sandstone, situated on a hill overlooking the village. Dunster Doll Museum houses a collection of more than 800 dolls from around the world.
Dunster railway station is on the West Somerset Heritage Railway, though the station is over a mile from the village. The station was opened on 16 July 1874 by the Minehead Railway. Road access is via the A39 and A369. The nearest international airports would be those at Exeter or Bristol.

Unecessary, Dangerous, wash from MOD fuel vessels.MOV
For years, this MOD training/fuel vessel in particular, has travelled past Appledore quay and close to Appledore shipyard and back again.
Each time it does so, it creates unnecessary, dangerous, wash that erodes the riverbanks, disturbs the wildlife and has a deleterious effect on moored vessels.
Our Service men and women are being trained to conduct themselves like this in foreign ports.
Huge rally to save Appledore Shipyard
One of the largest rallies ever seen in North Devon, as workers and the community in Bideford campaign to stop Appledore Shipyard from closing - which would mean 200 jobs going just before Christmas. Owners Babcock International claim there's no work, but the Government urgently need ships building for the Royal Navy. Rather than give the work to the only merchant shipyard in the country and keep it open, they have put it out to international tender. There are plenty of ways the shipyard could diversify too. Babcock make ther decision on November 15; please sign the petition to stop this highly skilled workforce being thrown on the scapheap.
