Barnstaple sits where the River Taw opens toward the Bristol Channel, a market town whose Saxon roots gave North Devon its trading hub long before the railways arrived. Today that history shows in a cluster of independent cafes tucked along its lanes, alongside a handful of restaurants serving up local Devon produce. Travellers passing through will find comfortable hotels for a night or a longer stay, all within easy reach of the surrounding coast and moorland.
