Instow is an iconic village in North Devon perched at the point where the River Taw and River Torridge meet before joining the Atlantic Ocean – all within sight from most properties in the village. It also enjoys great views of it’s sister village Appledore on the opposite bank. Wired into local transport links you can be in the heart of Bideford in minutes on the bus, and Barnstaple with 20 minutes. It has a primary school, a community hall and several churches including the interesting Italianate All Saints Chapel.
Instow has lots of places to moor a boat if you have one, and it has a handful of shops and great local restaurants. Locals make good use of the beach and the small yet severely eroded dune system close by (look out for the rare Pyramid Orchid when the season is right). The Tarka Trail runs through the heart of the village where the railway used to run. There’s still traces of the railway all around the village including the countries only Grade I signal box. The new film about yachtsman Donald Crowhurst – Deep Water was filmed in Instow in 2015.
Instow is also within short driving distance of the Atlantic Highway (A39) that is the main feeder route across the region leading to Wadebridge in Cornwall to the south-west and to the M5 by Tiverton in the east. A very good regular bus service provides access to North Devon’s ‘capital’, Barnstaple. Bus users can also reach Westward Ho!, Bideford, Braunton, Appledore, Croyde, Okehampton, Holsworthy and Ilfracombe with ease.
