Oh dear. Poor tired old Bideford – superficially it looks quite nice but in reality it's very dreary with very little going for it. The stone bridge is an impressive structure and I wasn't aware of the Tarka the Otter connection but the town seemed dead and all the shops in the Pannier were shut at 4.30pm.

We went to a 'festival' in there so the normal market stalls were absent. It is a quaint place to visit and there's a small café if anyone wants a bite to eat 🍽 or a cuppa 🫖

Really great little place with some interesting stores. Particularly enjoyed looking at the art galleries (Harry Juniper and others) and wood carving place (John Butcher) with some very humorous and touching pieces of work. Some real characters throughout the market who were a real pleasure to meet and talk to.

It's a beautiful old building that houses a few little shops, mostly arts and crafts type things, then you go up to the main area, is a bit quiet on days theres no market there but there are always a few stalls open and a beautiful cafe that serves the best bacon sandwich, as well as other items, they are super friendly and worth going just for that, It's the gem of bidiford, I just wish my home town of derby would learn from there example,

Visited yesterday, found some lovely quirky shops at the lower level. Went to visit the upper level by the cafe and was disappointed to find no stalls open and everything packed up.
