Bideford is a historic port town on the estuary of the River Torridge in north Devon, south-west England. Bideford is the main town of the Torridge local government district. Bideford is served by the A39 Atlantic Highway and A386 roads.
A ferry operates between Bideford quay and Lundy Island, which lies about 22 miles (35 km) away in the Bristol Channel. The same ship, the MS Oldenburg, also provides evening cruises from Bideford along the River Torridge but in the downstream direction only as it is too big to pass under the Bideford Long Bridge.
The Bideford, Westward Ho! and Appledore Railway was an unusual and short-lived railway built entirely on this peninsula with no direct connection to the rest of the British railway network. The locomotives were fitted with skirts to protect pedestrians, as at one point the line ran along the quay at Bideford.
Lundy is the largest island in the Bristol Channel. It lies 12 miles (19 km) off the coast of Devon, England, in the district of Torridge, about a third of the distance across the channel from Devon, England to South Wales. Lundy gives its name to a British sea area and is one of the islands of England. Lundy has been designated by Natural England as national character area 159, one of England's natural regions. Lundy was granted to the Knights Templar by Henry II in 1160. The Templars were a major international maritime force at this time, with interests in North Devon, and almost certainly an important port at Bideford or on the River Taw in Barnstaple.
The town of Bideford has grown to cover land on both sides of the River Torridge; the area located east of the river is known as East-the-Water, also known as Shamwickshire to locals. Much of the land that has been built on in recent years is drained marshland.

Flying Over Instow
North Devon Moving Image worked with young film makers aged between 9 and 10 at Instow Primary School in North Devon, UK as part of the Into Film See it Make it programme.
Young film makers from year 5 at Instow Primary School in North Devon wrote and produced this fabulous film using poetry, live action film, green screen and puppetry to tell the world about the special environment around their school.
Sustrans cycle ride on Tarka Trail, lanes and villages between Torrington & Barnstaple, North Devon
Tarka Trail clockwise circular cycle ride from the Puffing Billy café and cycle hire shop at the former Great Torrington railway station, North Devon, along the Tarka Trail via Bideford, Instow, Fremington Quay and Barnstaple then over the top via lanes and villages (including the lovely Weare Gifford) back to the Tarka Trail and the Puffing Billy café. A bike ride of 33 miles and an elevation gain of 2,247 feet. You can find this cycle ride (without the Puffing Billy extension) in Sustrans’ North Devon Cycle Map, a pocket sized guide to the National Cycle Network – ride #2.
There are plenty of cafes on the Tarka Trail but I highly recommend the Puffing Billy café (the former Great Torrington railway station) for a wonderful HUGE pot of tea plus homemade cakes and / or Devon cream teas plus lunches, etc. It also has a license if you fancy a beer! Top Tip (from woeful experience…): Don’t munch your way through one of the Puffing Billy’s enormous Devon cream teas half-way through your cycle ride or you will suffer from indigestion when you get back on your bicycle!!!! You can hire bikes at the bicycle hire shop opposite. (We did this the other year; you can hire by the day or half-day.)
Be sure to check out my bike ride videos and the other (mainly Yorkshire) cycle ride segments - ideal for use at the gym on an indoor trainer, exercise bike, treadmill, cross trainer, etc! Most are in Yorkshire, but some are in Lancashire, Devon, Dorset, Somerset and Derbyshire.

Tarka Trail Through Fremington
The Tarka Trail - Barnstaple To Bideford - October 19th 2016
Whilst visiting my Dad in Barnstaple I decided to take an early morning bike ride along the fantastic Tarka Trail before returning home to Manchester. The route is absolutely brilliant. Stunning scenery, perfect surface, flat, easy, well sign posted. Looking forward to going back down there to do the whole route one day.
