Bideford is a historic port town on the estuary of the River Torridge in north Devon The famous bridge across the Torridgeàwas first built in about 1280 as a packhorse bridge. This wooden bridge was then replaced by a ford ââ¬â itââ¬â¢s believed this ford is the source of the townââ¬â¢s name (by the ford = Bideford). In the 16th century, the stone structure we see today started to take shape and the town around it formed, moving up the hills.
