A few minutes drive away is the picture postcard fishing village at Appledore and the popular resort of Westward Ho! With its fine sandy surfing beach backed by the famous Pebble Ridge.

From Bideford, access is gained to the North Devon Link Road (A39&A361) which provides a fast route to Barnstaple the regional centre for North Devon about 9 miles away. From there the road continues to the M5 motorway at junction 27 (Tiverton) a further 29 miles away and there also is the Tiverton Parkway main line railway station (London Paddington 2 hour's approx) Exeter the Cathedral city and county town with its international airport is about 50 miles away.

The North Devon region appeals to those with a sense of the great outdoors with its glorious sandy surfing beaches at Woolacombe, Croyde Bay, Saunton and Westward Ho!

Reputably the oldest club in England playing on the original links course and the two Championship Links Courses at Saunton. Sailing is available on the coastal waters with Instow on the banks of the Torridge being home to the North Devon Yacht Club. The south west coastal path is close at hand and the Tarka Trail, part of the national cycle network, can be accessed close-by.
