Explore Appledore & Westward Ho!
Set at the mouth of the River Torridge, Appledore is a historic fishing village turned creative coastal haven. Its colourful streets, waterside views and painted fishermen’s cottages frame a close-knit community of artists and makers.
Independent galleries, studios and markets celebrate handmade work inspired by the sea, while much-loved events, from the Appledore Book Festival to the vibrant Appledore Regatta, bring the village to life throughout the year.
Unlike many seaside villages, there are no chains or high street; independent shops create a charming patchwork among the brightly painted fishermen’s cottages and along the quayside.
Appledore’s beauty lies in its balance, picturesque and peaceful, yet practical. A place where everything blends seamlessly into its historic seaside setting.
Northam Burrows, an area of outstanding natural beauty, is a picturesque walk or cycle away. A beautiful semi wild landscape with grassy plains, salt marshes, sand dunes and wild horses, intertwined with the Royal North Devon golf course, one of the oldest in England and flanked by the sweeping sand of Westwood Ho! Beach.
Westwood Ho! beach, over 2 km of beautiful sand, perfect for surfing, boogy boarding and swimming. There’s a cafe to the sand dunes towards Appledore and a large car park. Saunton Sands, Croyde and Woolacombe are all close by.
