Appledore, Devon

A short drive yesterday and we visited Appledore.  On the River Torridge this small fishing village attracts a lot of visitor all year round...including locals!

I took a few photos - well actually quite a lot of pics and although I don't usually bombard you with loads of pics I thought this visit was worth sharing.....so sit back and I'll show you some of this place with its estuary view, small streets (cars cannot get through the little streets), so it has a lovely atmosphere (although I think moving house would be a total nightmare!)





See what I mean about the tiny streets!





The chandlery shop...




If these streets aren't quirky enough, I found the even quirkier....

 
with it's false windows!



I think this should have been called Duck Lane instead of Gibbs Lane!!


 this was a very short door!

 and on round to the esplanade and sea

on the right you'll see someone using a cement mixer!

....the cement mixer was actually used for cleaning the shell fish he had caught!

the local Gig club had been training and we saw them bringing their boats out of the water...


and on across the road to their shed

 This must be the smallest fish and chip shop!...no not really, it was
just advertising...



boat parking instead of car parking!


  looking across the river to Instow



the view looking down the river towards Appledore Shipyard

there was a news piece about it yesterday too....

We enjoyed our walk around Appledore...
I hope you enjoyed this visit too.
