Instow Devon Map

About Instow

Instow commands a tranquil position on the estuary's edge. It lies 2.6 km east-north-east of Northam (from Northam: bearing 63°T, OS grid SS 472 302), and is situated east-south-east of Appledore village. The shifting sands and the broad expanse of the Taw-Torridge estuary lend Instow a certain atmospheric grandeur, especially when the late afternoon sun casts long shadows across the water. Once a bustling port, its maritime heritage is still palpable in the weathered timbers of its quay and the salt-laced air that carries the cries of gulls. The village green, a patch of well-trodden turf, seems to hold the quiet murmur of generations who have passed through this coastal haven. Instow's charm lies in its unpretentious beauty, a place where the rhythm of the tides dictates a gentler pace of life.
