Bideford North is the northern ward of the market and port town of Bideford in Torridge, Devon, England. Sitting on the northern bank of the River Torridge, it comprises a mix of residential streets, local shops and green spaces and gives easy access to riverside walks, the Tarka Trail and the dramatic North Devon coast at places such as Westward Ho!.
Sharing in Bideford's maritime and shipbuilding heritage and historic trade links, the area today leans on services, small businesses and tourism, with cultural draws nearby like the Burton Art Gallery and the Bideford Pannier Market. The ward has a varied population of families and older residents and is active in community events and modest regeneration efforts that aim to balance town-centre character - including the iconic Bideford Long Bridge - with contemporary housing and transport needs; neighbouring places such as Appledore form part of the wider local identity.
