Appledore

The village of Appledore is located in North Devon at the point where the rivers of the Taw and the Torridge meet before their convergence into the Atlantic at Bideford Bay. Appledore has a wealth of maritime history founded from its shipbuilding and seafaring past. Shipbuilding is still carried out today at Appledore Shipbuilders in its now all under cover site. The Village itself, with its narrow streets, cobbled court yards and fishermen's cottages was once described by the victorian novelist Charles Kingsley as the 'little white fishing village'.
