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.
This site has recently undergone some changes and
updates. This is an on-going process so please keep an eye on
us for further information. |
