Barnstaple's main square is today a large traffic roundabout. In the centre is the Albert memorial clock tower and in spring a wonderful colourful display is provided.
The town is an excellent base to explore the north Devon coast. The town has many long-established shops and has not suffered development blight as badly as many other English towns did in the 60s and 70s. It boasts the indoor Pannier market and Butcher's Row--a street with over 20 independent establishments, nearly all butchers.
