Way of the Wharves is a volunteer lead community project researching and communicating the history of the the wharves at East the Water. Connected to Bideford by the long bridge East the Water has a long industrial history including: shipbuilding, lime kilns and horticulture, potteries and tobacco
We are an independent, family run shop. We specialise in unique gifts, homewares and handmade jewellery, inspired by our beautiful countryside and coastal surrounding us. Where possible we like to source our products from small UK based companies, with many of these items handmade.
Our main provision for Bideford is daily kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding on the River Torridge. We operate daily between Little America (LA) and Kingsley Steps / Bank End on the Quay.
Tapeley Park sits high on a hill overlooking the River Torridge and the North Devon coastline commanding spectacular views, and has been home to the Christie family since the 1700's.
