It operates fairly independently as it has its own shops, community hall and a well-regarded primary school. East-The-Water was once the mining heart of North Devon, with the unique form of coal, Bideford Black, sourced from the area all the way to the sea. Chudleigh Fort and park is close by and commands great views of Bideford and the old bridge. When you need to be practical, one of the towns largest supermarkets is also very close by on foot.
In the wider area, Bideford boasts a host of pubs, restaurants, a weekly cinema and various sporting clubs to join/follow. It has many open spaces to explore as well as pleasant river walks along the River Torridge or by the working Quay. Bideford also supports a raft of interesting independent shops and small businesses in its narrow streets. Check out the Pannier Market and Market Place shops for its array of craft and farm food stores.
East-The-Water is 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 bus service provides access to North Devon's capital, Barnstaple. Bus users can also reach Westward Ho!, Bideford, Braunton, Appledore, Croyde and Ilfracombe.<br/><br/><b>Directions</b><br/>From Bideford Quay proceed over the Old Bideford Bridge. At the mini roundabout, continue straight onto Torrington Lane. Fort Terrace will be found on your left hand side. Number 12 clearly displays a numberplate and For Sale notice.
