About Instow Town

Instow Town sits where the Taw and Torridge estuaries meet, a place of shifting sands and the distant breath of the sea. It lies 3.9 km east-north-east of Northam (from Northam: bearing 57°T, OS grid SS 482 311), and is situated north-east of Instow village. The air here often carries the tang of salt and the cries of gulls, a constant reminder of its maritime heritage, a heritage felt in the weathered clapboard of some older dwellings. Sunlight, when it breaks through the Devon clouds, can catch the water in a way that makes the landscape shimmer, a fleeting, almost ethereal beauty. Historically, this was a place of modest trade and quiet living, its fortunes tied to the ebb and flow of the tides that shaped its shores. The gentle slopes leading down to the water offer views that have likely changed little for generations, a continuity that lends a quiet strength to Instow Town.
