It isn’t a town Grandad it’s a village, with very little to do there ( although nice to visit for a walk along the sand).
Bideford is the nearest town for a lot of shops .Appledore just opposite is larger than Instow and with a large car park, more to do there ( wonderful old streets to wander, craft shops , museum etc).
We lived not too far away, and if you are thinking of living there, or of just visiting it’s very pleasant.If you are thinking of a holiday, choose Appledore, Bideford, Westward Ho! Over Instow as more to do.
Come back and tell us?
