Westward Ho! is a village, lying north of Bideford and west of Appledore. There are many country walks around the village and the outlying areas, including the popular Northam Burrows, Appledore Quay and the nearby Westward Ho! Beach. Originally called Bideford Quay, it was named Westward Ho! after Charles Kingsley’s book of the same name. Nowadays, it’s a bold mix of the old and the modern. It’s a popular spot with families that return year on year. Surfers and horse riders love the long sandy beach.
Local amenities include newsagents, mini supermarkets, take-aways and a post office. There’s also a primary school, health and dental centre and a number of churches in the area. Northam also has a decent public swimming pool and gym too. You’ll never be short of places to eat and drink with Appledore, Bideford and Abbotsham on your doorstep with their cornucopia of restaurants and pubs.
It’s 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 services provides access to North Devon’s ‘capital’, Barnstaple. Bus users can also reach Westward Ho!, Bideford, Braunton, Appledore, Croyde and Ilfracombe with ease.

A little bit about Kipling Court
Kipling Court has a rich and vibrant history and is the only Grade II listed building in Westward Ho! It was originally built in 1869 and was designed by the architect Edward Willmott.
It was originally called Kingsley Terrace and consisted of 12 houses in pairs on 5 levels.
In 1874 it became the United Services College and was created to provide the sons of officers with a less expensive education than some of the other public schools provided.
In 1878 a small stocky bespectacled boy arrived from Lahore India named Rudyard Kipling who lived between 1856 and 1936.
Rudyard Kipling, of course, went on to become a famous English journalist and novelist and the building took its current name from him. It has now been turned into apartments.
