Butchers Row: the unusual sight of a whole row of butchers shops built in 1855 and still in use today, is evidence of Barnstaple's prosperous past. Visitors should look out for the local seaweed dish, laver, try hogs puddings and buy Devonshire clotted cream to eat on locally grown strawberries!
 

The Albert Memorial Clock, erected in Barnstaple Square in 1862. Beside the clock in Litchdon Street is the site of Brannams Pottery, and the Penrose Almshouses, built around a communal pump in a courtyard in 1627 and still occupied today.
 

The riverside walk along the Strand leads to Queen Annes Walk where the Tome Stone, on which merchants settled their bargains in the seventeenth century is housed.
 

Much of historic Barnstaple is near the Parish Church of St Peter, built in 1318 and renovated in the seventeenth century, it is famous for the distinct bend near the top of its spire. St Anne's Chapel, nearby, (1330/1450), initially a charnelhouse, and then a chapel, became a school which was attended by the dramatist John Gay. It now houses a small museum.
