The Torridge estuary towns where the Lundy ferry sails from
Bideford is a historic port town on the estuary of the River Torridge in north Devon and the main town of Torridge district. It is one of the two harbours the MS Oldenburg uses for Lundy, so many visitors spend a night here before or after the crossing. Its medieval Long Bridge has 24 arches and is one of the longest medieval bridges in England.
Downstream, Appledore is a village at the mouth of the Torridge, about 3 miles north of Bideford, with a quay, a lifeboat station and the North Devon Maritime Museum. Westward Ho! faces the open sea at the south end of Northam Burrows, with a tidal rock pool on the beach.
