Barnstaple is North Devon's capital town, to which people come to work, to shop and to spend leisure time. Located around 10km from the awe-inspiring Atlantic Ocean, Barnstaple nestles on the edge of the Taw Estuary and River, which gives the town a real living, changing energy that comes from being a local hub and historic port.
