Bideford has been welcoming visitors for centuries. They have come by both road and sea. Our location, people, heritage and character continue to appeal to guests and residents alike. This site is intended to provide a 'snapshot' of Bideford today while taking the user into the confidence of our history and highlighting many of the aspects and elements of a town which should be seen and enjoyed.

Still a working port, our maritime heritage is well charted. Refered to by Charles Kingsley in Westward Ho!, noted in Tennyson's Revenge and immortalised in the verse of Edward Capern, Bideford's postman-poet the "little white town" retains its ability to captivate and charm.

New public conveniences, a harbour office and 'Lundy island' facilities have now been completed on Bideford Quayside. The building is of a modern design and will cater for the needs of both harbour users and visitors to Bideford Quay. The work has been carried out by local contractor WH Tolley & Son Ltd. of Torrington. For a picture of the new look click here to go to Torridge District Council site
