Looking seaward from Appledore

Looking from Appledore across the combined rivers to Braunton Burrows sand dunes.

 

Towards Bideford Bar

The Atlantic rollers can be seen breaking on the sandbanks, shipping is constrained by the Bideford Bar in the river mouth here.

 

Towards the River Taw

The River Taw can seen in the distance leading to Barnstaple, nearer the River Torridge leads to the port of Bideford.

 

Boats on the Torridge at Appledore

A busy scene, despite the lowness of the tide there were plenty of boats on the river.

 

Quayside in Appledore

Two views of the old and new yards of Appledore Shipbuilders, the "new" (1964) yard is still active, at time of writing producing the bow sections for the Royal Navy's new aircraft carriers.
