The route book of Devon: a guide for the stranger and tourist. Second Edition. Exeter: Henry Besley, 1846 (?). Route 1. p. 56. INSTOW. Opposite Appledore, on the other side of the river, about three miles from Bideford, and six from Barnstaple, on the new road, leading from the former to the latter place, stands this now much increased little watering place. It faces Bideford bay, and commands a view of Lundy Island. A great many new buildings and lodging houses have sprung up here within the last seven years, and bathing machines are established. These accommodations attract a number of invalids and visiters [sic] during the season. [Text may be taken from a different source or edition than that listed as the source by Somers Cocks.] |
