Appledore is full of history, with watch towers, look-outs, a smugglers tunnel,  fishermen's cottages, captains' houses and a quay overlooking the meeting point of the rivers Torridge & Taw before they flow through the "pool" and over the "bar" into Bideford Bay.
Away from the quay the narrow streets, hidden lanes and cobbled courtyards preserve the intriguing history and transport the imagination back through the centuries.
Mostly a conservation area, Appledore is close to the South West Coast Path and beautiful safe beaches for surfing, swimming and sandcastles. Also, nearby is the Northam Burrows Country Park, home to the oldest 18 hole links golf course in England!
