Visited the Bideford Station on a walk along the Tarka Trail.. Great to see the tracks down in the station and a short working length heading towards Torrington.. Carriage being used as a cafe is in the station as well as a restored signal box. It's a shame that the original tracks towards Instow/Barnstaple & towards Torrington were only taken up not that long ago.This would of been a fabulous tourist attraction as well as getting vehicles off the road. As tracks are being relayed at Torrington, hopefully it can be rejoined. But a great effort what's been done and well...

Brilliant railway museum and so informative of how Bideford became a holiday destination.A cafe is in a carriage at the actual station that overlooks the river towards the town centre also you can gain access to the original signal box.A bicycle track also runs alongside the railway.Well worth a visit.

The Heritage Centre has been totally restored over the past 12 months. The Museum is open 10am-4pm daily which includes "Tea On The Train" which serves wonderful refreshments. The Museum is based in the railway parcels van and the Signal Van - both are open and free!
