Discovering Appledore

Appledore is a small and pretty village in North Devon, England. It is near the place where two rivers, the Taw and the Torridge, meet. The village has a long history of fishing and building ships. These things are still important for the people who live there.

There is a museum in Appledore called the North Devon Maritime Museum. It shows the village’s history with the sea. You can learn about Viking attacks and what happened there during World War II.
