Instow is a gem of a village. It has a huge sandy beach that stretches for miles at low tide. Even at the height of the summer the beach never gets crowded. The village is at the mouth of the estuary where the rivers Taw and Torridge meet. In the summer there is a little ferry boat that runs across to Appledore on the other side.There is great sailing (racing on Dart 15 catamarans) at the North Devon Yacht club, cycling on the Tarka trail, two good pubs (the Wayfarer and The Bar) and two very good restaurants (The Boathouse and Decks) , a small family run hotel , beach volleyball, waterskiing in the estuary. We love the rock pooling and surfing / kite surfing at Westward Ho! Within a short drive there are fabulous walks along the coast to Cornwall , Exmoor National park, as well as beaches and surfing at Croyde and Woolacombe, etc etc.
