About

Appledore ward encompasses the historic fishing village of Appledore itself, situated on the estuary where the rivers Taw and Torridge meet before flowing into the Atlantic. The area is defined by a network of narrow, winding streets lined with colour-washed cottages, leading down to a working quay. The local economy remains connected to the water, with boatbuilding, maritime trades, and fishing playing a central role in community life.

The built environment is tightly packed, with the village occupying a narrow peninsula. This creates a distinct sense of place, with water visible from many points. The area includes Irsha Street, known for its traditional facades, and looks across the estuary to Instow. The Appledore Shipbuilders dry dock is a prominent feature on the waterfront, underscoring the ward's ongoing industrial heritage alongside its residential character.
