From Bone Hill, it overlooks the estuary where the Taw and Torridge rivers converge, providing breath-taking views. The village offers a convenience store and newsagents along with a doctor’s and dentist surgery, primary schooling and a swimming pool/gym. The nearby Northam Burrows Country Park, forming part of North Devon’s UNESCO Biosphere, is also home to the Royal North Devon Golf Course. A popular village, Northam offers residents a quieter alternative to the traditional coastal locations but is within walking distance of both Westward Ho! and Appledore. Also close by, and connected by a regular bus service, is the historic port town of Bideford, which provides a wider range of facilities including a number of locally owned and operated shops and bistros, banks, a post office, secondary schooling and supermarket shopping. The A39 provides a convenient route to Barnstaple, with High Street shopping and the Tarka rail line to Exeter in the South. From here, the A39 links up with the A361 to Tiverton, where there is a direct rail connection to London Paddington. To the West of Bideford, and further along the A39 is Bude, the gateway to the North Cornwall coast. USEFUL INFORMATION
