Bideford is a small port town on the estuary of the River Torridge in north Devon, south-west England. It is the main town of the Torridge local government district. The river is forded by a fine arched stone bridge built in 1535 to replace a wooden one constructed around 1300. It also has some excellent antique shops. Known locally as drangs, the narrow backstreets and alleyways winding up from the quay and river hide no end of treasure to be sought out by seasoned shoppers. From the quay, take a boat trip to Lundy Island about 12 miles away in the Bristol Channel. Scattered around Bideford are some charming villages offering many fascinations to be discovered. And for exploring more of what nature has to offer, not too far away is the start of the Tarka Trail and the beautiful Exmoor National Park. The building houses exhibition spaces, museum, craft gallery, workshop, lecture area, gift shop and coffee shop.
