Bideford and the places nearby.
Bideford is a historic port on the Torridge estuary, linked across the river by its long medieval bridge and known as the Little White Town. It serves Appledore, Northam and a wide rural area, and the Lundy ferry sails from the quay. Customers include retirees, holiday home owners and a traditional working population, with summer bringing visitors to the coast. Trades should name the coastal villages they cover, and hospitality needs clear seasonal information online.
Northam (2 miles), Great Torrington (5 miles) and Holsworthy (16 miles) are the nearest in the same council area. Elsewhere in Devon, Barnstaple (8 miles), Ilfracombe (14 miles), South Molton (16 miles) and North Tawton (20 miles) are within reach. A longer drive takes in Bude (20 miles). Naming the towns you actually cover tells people straight away whether you will come to them.
Inside Bideford, the site can name areas such as East-the-Water, Northam, Appledore, Westward Ho!, Abbotsham and Instow.
