 and Appledore Railway (B, WH & A, R) was a railway running in northwest Devon, England.It is unusual in that although it was built as a standard gauge line, it was not joined to the rest of the British railway network, despite the London and South Western Railway having a station at Bideford East-the-Water, just on the other side of the river Torridge from the main town.The line was wholly situated on the peninsula made up of Westward Ho!, Northam and Appledore with extensive sand dunes by the Torridge and Taw estuary.
