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 its 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 within 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 country’s only Grade I signal box. The film about yachtsman Donald Crowhurst – Deep Water was filmed in Instow in 2015.

Directions
From Barnstaple Town Centre, continue over the Long Bridge and up Sticklepath Hill. Upon reaching the roundabout at the very top, take the second exit onto Bickington Road. At the next roundabout, take the second exit signposted Bickington / Fremington onto Bickington Road. Proceed through the villages of Bickington, Fremington and Yelland via Yelland Road and West Yelland. Turn left onto Rectory Lane and turn left into Old Rectory Close. Number 7 will be found in the far corner on your left hand side with a numberplate clearly displayed.
