Barnstaple or is the main town of North Devon, England, and possibly the oldest borough in the United Kingdom. It is a former river-port, located at the lowest crossing-point of the River Taw, flowing into the Bristol Channel.
From the 14th century, Barnstaple was licensed to export wool, since the merchants claimed that the town had been declared a free borough in Saxon times. This brought great wealth to Barnstaple, whose town centre still preserves a medieval layout and character. Later the town became an importer of Irish wool, but its harbour silted up, and it developed other industries, such as shipbuilding, foundries and sawmills. Barnstaple Victorian market survives, with its high glass and timber roof on iron columns. Barnstaple railway station is the terminus of a branch line from Exeter, known as the Tarka Line.
Barnstaple is the main town of North Devon and claims to be the oldest borough in the United Kingdom. It lies 68 miles (109 km) west-south-west of Bristol, 50 miles (80 km) north of Plymouth and 34 miles (55 km) northwest of the county town and city of Exeter. It was founded at the lowest crossing point of the River Taw, where its estuary starts to widen, about 7 miles (11 km) inland from Barnstaple Bay (or Bideford Bay) in the Bristol Channel.
Barnstaple has an eclectic mix of architectural style with the 19th century probably now predominant. There are some remnants of early buildings to enjoy as well as several early plaster ceilings. St. Anne's Chapel in the central churchyard is probably the best of the ancient buildings to survive. Queen Anne's Walk was erected c. 1708 as a mercantile exchange. The Georgian Guildhall is also of interest as well as the Pannier Market beneath. The museum has an arts and crafts vibe with its tessellated floors, locally made staircase and decorative fireplaces.
A wooden castle was built by Geoffrey de Mowbray, Bishop of Coutances in the 11th century, clearing houses to make room for it. Juhel of Totnes later occupied the castle and founded Barnstaple Priory just outside its walls. The castle's first stone buildings were probably erected by Henry de Tracey, a strong supporter of King Stephen.
St Anne's Chapel was restored in 2012. It was an ancient chantry chapel, the assets of which were acquired by the Mayor of Barnstaple and others in 1585, some time after the Dissolution of the Monasteries. The deed of feoffment dated 1 November 1585 exists in the George Grant Francis collection in Cardiff.
Barnstaple has been the major market for North Devon since Saxon times. Demands for health regulation of its food market in Victorian times saw the construction in 1855 to 1856 of the town's Pannier Market, originally known as the Vegetable Market and designed by R. D. Gould.
In 1989, the A361 North Devon Link Road was constructed, linking Barnstaple with the M5 motorway, approximately 40 miles (65 km) to the east. Traffic congestion in the town used to be severe, but in May 2007, the Barnstaple Western Bypass was opened so traffic heading towards Braunton and Ilfracombe avoids travelling through the town centre over the ancient bridge. Barnstaple railway station is the terminus of a branch line from Exeter, known as the Tarka Line after the local connection with Tarka the Otter.

The Pannier Market
The Pannier Market is a beautifully architected building that was fully restored to its former splendour in 1993 by Bidefords town council. Its high ceilings are fitted with banks of skylights that allow beams of light to shower down onto the impressive indoor market on a sunny midsummers day, making this a tranquil and relaxing location that allows you to easily while away an hour or two without realising it.
The building itself was built in 1884 at a cost of £4,200 to house the fish market, butchery stalls and corn exchange. The Mayor, G W Vincent, performed the opening ceremony, which was followed by a public dinner with almost 200 people attending. The day ended with a promenade concert and later that week about 2,000 children gathered at the market for a tea party.
You will find Bidefords Pannier Market by walking up the High Street and taking a left turn into Grenville Street.
The building stands fair and square ahead of you. It is called the Pannier Market after the wicker baskets, or panniers, in which farmers wives carried their wares. A market has been held in Bideford since the granting of the Charter of Incorporation in 1573.
In addition to the Indoor Market, the Pannier Market hosts Butchers Row, which was historically the main arcade for the meat trade. However, due to its restoration in 1999, Butchers Row now houses a plethora of quaint little art and craft shops in what is now a very picturesque little shopping arcade.
Although the Pannier Market is a little way to walk, it is definitely worth a visit.
Tourist Guide: - The indoor market is open to the public on Tuesdays and Saturdays from 8am to 3pm selling plants, home grown produce, antiques, jewellery, books, paintings, photographs and much more for most of the year. It also houses a maritime themed café, with a decked seating area for forty-eight people, the cafe sells hot and cold food, cakes and refreshments, Butchers Row is open 6 days a week to the public.

Places to see in ( Tavistock - UK )
Tavistock is an ancient stannary and market town within West Devon, England. Tavistock is situated on the River Tavy from which its name derives. Tavistock traces its recorded history back to at least AD 961 when Tavistock Abbey, whose ruins lie in the centre of the town, was founded. Its most famous son is Sir Francis Drake.
Tavistock lies on the edge of Dartmoor, around 24 kilometres (14.9 mi) north of Plymouth on the A386, The town of Tavistock is centred on the paved amenity of Bedford Square, around which are found St. Eustachius' Church and the Abbey ruins, to the west, the Grade 2-listed Town Hall, the disused former Guildhall/magistrates' court buildings, and Pannier Market buildings behind the Town Hall. Abbey Bridge crosses the River Tavy to the south, while West Street and Duke Street, on either side of the north end of the square, form the main shopping areas, with the indoor market running behind Duke Street.
Plymouth Road, the A386 heading west from the centre of the square, is home to much of the town's tourist trade, with many hotels and bed and breakfast establishments, as well as the town's bus station. Between Plymouth Road and the Tavy is the park, known locally as the Meadows, along with car parks, the Wharf theatre, cinema and culture centre, and a public recreation pool. West of the Meadows are found the substantial playing fields and buildings of Tavistock College, reached by an underpass below the A386. Further south along the Plymouth Road/A386 lie industrial estates, supermarkets and other large retail outlets. To the north and east of town lies Whitchurch Down, where Dartmoor begins immediately.
Tavistock is a small market town, providing shopping and entertainment for its residents, many small outlying villages and the local farming community. It is a centre for the West Devon and Dartmoor tourist trade.

Places to see in ( Great Torrington - UK )
Great Torrington (often abbreviated to Torrington, though the villages of Little Torrington and Black Torrington are situated in the same region) is a small market town in the north of Devon, England. Parts of it are sited on high ground with steep drops down to the River Torridge below. The centre of the town therefore commands spectacular views, though lower-lying parts are prone to occasional flooding. Torrington is in the very heart of Tarka Country, a landscape captured by Henry Williamson in his novel Tarka the Otter in 1927. Great Torrington has the most active volunteering community in the United Kingdom.
There were Iron Age and medieval castles and forts in Torrington, located on the Castle Hill. Great Torrington had strategic significance in the English Civil War. In the Battle of Torrington (1646), the Parliamentarians, led by Sir Thomas Fairfax, swept into the town and defeated Lord Hopton's forces. This marked the end of Royalist resistance in the West Country. Today the town is recognised as an important heritage centre for the history of the 17th century, and its people can often be seen dressed in costume for historical re-enactments, festivals and celebrations. An interactive Civil War Experience, Torrington 1646, marks the town's historically important role. The Torrington jail was not big enough for more than one man so the Royalists kept all the Parliamentarian prisoners in the church.
The branch line from Barnstaple to Bideford was extended to Great Torrington in July 1872 by the London and South Western Railway, which built a railway station and locomotive depot in the town. The station was always named 'Torrington', not 'Great Torrington'. Mayfair is an annual folk festival believed to date back to 1554 in which the children of Torrington dance around a maypole set up in the town square. The event takes place on the first Thursday in May. The junior school children elect a May Queen and she is crowned in the town square after a procession with attendants. There is then Maypole dancing after which the children go off to the fair.
Torrington Common is an area of common land which surrounds the town on all but the eastern side. The common is administered by a body called The Commons Conservators. The Common covers 365 acres (148 ha) and has over 20 miles (32 kilometres) of public rights of way. The landscape features a variety of habitats and a rich collection of flora and fauna.
Attractions in Great Torrington include:
Dartington Crystal, Factory, Visitors Centre, Glass Shop and Restaurant of Dartington Crystal – the biggest employer in the town and the only major working glass factory in the UK[10]
Rosemoor Garden, a collection of gardens, woodlands and parkland owned by the Royal Horticultural Society
A Victorian pannier market with a glass roof, restored in the early 2000s
Great Torrington Heritage Museum, located next to the pannier market
St Michael and All Angels, an Anglican church whose grounds include a mound said to contain the remains of 60 Civil War Royalist prisoners
The Plough arts centre, a small theatre, cinema and gallery
Great Torrington also has a selection of pubs selling food and a selection of real ales. These include The Torridge Inn, The Black Horse, Torrington Arms, Cavalier, Globe and Royal Exchange. Torrington has a small brewery called Clearwater Brewery with its Cavalier and 1646 brands.
Torrington is served by 43 local bus services mostly operated by Stagecoach South West, however it should be noted that some only operate one way and a number are weekly only service. More information from Traveline South West. Torrington has no direct train services, Barnstaple (11 miles) is served by the Tarka Line from Exeter St David's. One of the countries prettiest scheduled train routes, providing a beautiful entry to North Devon. National Express operate scheduled coach services from London, the Midlands and elsewhere to North Devon, but there are no direct services to Torrington.
