A day trip to Lundy makes for an unforgettable experience, with stunning natural rugged beauty, it’s a walker’s paradise. Most day visitors travel on Lundy’s own ferry and supply ship, the graceful German-built MS Oldenburg, which is an experience in its own right. Built in 1958 the vessel retains many of her original brass and wooden fittings providing comfortable heated saloons, a bar, buffet, a gift shop and an information desk. The ship sails at least three times a week from either Bideford or Ilfracombe and the crossing takes about 2 hours each way, allowing between 4 and 6 hours to explore the island depending on the day you choose to travel.

Just 3.3 miles away from Appledore is the town of Bideford. It is a historic port town on the estuary of the River Torridge in north Devon, south-west England. It is the main town of the Torridge local area. The town itself is full of history like The Bideford witch trial in 1682 involving three local women, Temperance Lloyd, Mary Trembles and Susannah Edwards, accused of witchcraft and which resulted in one of the last hangings for witchcraft in England. Bideford is known as ‘The little white town’ and is believed to have acquired the name due to its bleached houses – the phrase was used by Charles Kingsley in the 1855 novel Westward Ho!
