Places to see in ( Barnstaple - UK )
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.

North Devon: Playing in the Sunshine (and Grabbing a Pint)
See more details on the blog:
We've had a few days in the resort town of Ilfracombe in North Devon and it's a stunning area. North Devon holiday cottages abound and we found one not too far from the high street but quiet with sheep out front. That's right. Of all the things to do and places to visit in Devon, this is a highlight. Apparently during the summer this is a prime location for days out in south west England and we can see why. I got the boys out in the sun and on the green grass and they had a blast. Then to a traditional pub for a pint.

Devon: Valley of Rocks and Coastal Villages
See more details on the blog:
We took a quick trip over to the villages of Lynmouth & Lynton and the nearby Valley of the Rocks after recommendations from cousins and locals. The scenic North Devon coast towns are connected by the Lynton and Lynmouth Clifftop Railway. The Valley of Rocks hike is fairly short with a paved path and grazing baby goats on the cliffs. We of course treated ourselves to a cream tea overlooking the harbor below while the weather passed.

England: Waves and then Sculptures at Broomhill Sculpture Garden
Henry goes out to film the waves for stock footage and then we all go out on a spring day to see the flowers and art of the Broomhill Sculpture Garden. There are many things to do in North Devon with kids and a sculpture garden gives them places to run and play. Broomhill is a wonderful attraction this time of year. The waves were crashing hard on shore and Henry enjoyed experimenting with his new lens (see below for link)
