About

Bideford South ward encompasses the historic core of the town on the southern side of the River Torridge. The area includes the quayside, the long Bideford Bridge, and the narrow, sloping streets of the old port. Land use is primarily residential and commercial, with a concentration of shops, services, and civic buildings around the High Street and Buttgarden Street. The Pannier Market operates regularly in a Victorian hall.

The ward is defined by its relationship to the river and tidal estuary, with the Tarka Trail walking and cycling path following the water's edge. The Royal Hotel on the quay, a traditional coaching inn, overlooks the working harbour and the bridge. Residential areas consist largely of terraced housing from the town's mercantile past, spreading up the hill away from the central waterfront.
