Your key to Barnstaple Town Map & Business Guide Heritage At one time, Barnstaple was the only port in the South West of England... It’s thought that Barnstaple is the oldest borough in England, dating back to the 900s. Yet it was the Medieval period that most defined Barnstaple’s history. Barnstaple’s location and man-made quays helped the town to become a thriving trading centre and a base for enterprising merchants to do business with Europe, Ireland and the New World. Tobacco, wine and spices were imported and wool and pottery exported. However the era of prosperity was interrupted in 1642 by the Civil War, during which Barnstaple changed hands four times. Bullet holes from the resulting skirmishes can still be found in some of Barnstaple’s historic buildings. Remarkable. Barnstaple and the defeat of the Spanish Armada CULTU ATTRAC RE, TIO EATING NS, OU SHOPPIN T, G & MORE barnstaple.co.uk In 1588 Barnstaple helped to defeat the Spanish Armada. Five ships, manned by Barnstaple men, set sail from the town to join Sir Francis Drake’s fleet in Plymouth before going into battle. The rest, as they say, is history. Barnstaple’s past continues to define its present. The best way to discover the history of the town is to join one of the guided heritage trails. They are fascinating.
