The quay is delightfully busy, somewhere to sit and have breakfast or lunch and enjoy the view, perhaps a spot of crabbing. Famous for its artists and craftsmen, the village now boasts a festival with the Appledore Crafts Company, where you can find a broad range of arts and crafts from ceramics, photography, jewellery and paintings.

The village offers an excellent range of amenities including; a highly regarded shop/delicatessen, various independent/artisan shops, galleries, pubs, cafes, restaurants, takeaways, primary school and a church. The Northam Burrows Country Park (Site of Special Scientific Interest) and Royal North Devon Golf Club (the oldest golf course in England) are only a short distance away.

Make sure to catch a seasonal ferry from Appledore to the sweeping beach of Instow to sit and watch the colourful boats bobbing on the water. One of the most beautiful beaches in North Devon.
