It operates fairly independently as it has its own shops, pubs, community halls and a well-regarded primary school. East-The-Water was once the mining heart of North Devon, with the unique form of coal Bideford Black sourced from the area all the way to the sea. Chudleigh Fort and park is close by and commands great views of Bideford and the old bridge. When you need to be practical one of the towns largest supermarkets is also very close by on foot.
