Description
Bideford is an attractive town on the West bank of the River Torridge, where the river begins to widen to form the
estuary. The old road has a lovely old bridge crossing the Torridge linking the town of Bideford to its neighbouring
village east of the Water. The impressive arched stone bridge was built in 1535. Today, Bideford is a thriving shopping
centre with an historic Pannier Market holding both produce and crafts markets twice each week. Many antique
shops are scattered amongst the narrow back-streets and alleyways.
