Bideford guidebook

Bideford, affectionately known as the Little White Town, is hailed by some as one of the most historic towns in the West Country...

Nestling in the heart of the Tarka Country, on the banks of the River Torridge, Bideford is surrounded by some of the most unspoilt countryside in the region, and is also within easy reach of the stunning North Devon coast and spectacular Lundy Island.

It boasts of being a resort, market town, and port, as well as being an active player in the fishing industry.

It has a distinctive character with its medieval bridge, working quay, and narrow streets and buildings, all steeped in tradition.

Throughout its long history, change has been a constant theme in the town's development.

And this continues today as large sums of time and money are invested into the town with the progression of the Bideford Regeneration Initiative.

Bideford appeals to people of all ages — it offers a wealth of shops — both individual and national chains, riverside cafes, clubs, a selection of traditional pubs, and an impressive park.

Its New Year's Eve celebrations are world famous and never fail to attract revellers, including families, from across the country every year.

It is a bustling modern town but remains immensely proud of its historic roots.
