Bideford Higher Cemetery is the burial ground for Bideford in North Devon. Today it is managed by Torridge District Council. The cemetery was opened on Buckland Road in Bideford by W.L. Yellacott, the Mayor of Bideford, on 6 September 1889. The cemetery's records from 1899 to 1966 are held in the North Devon Athenaeum, a private library which shares the top floor of the Barnstaple Library building. The cemetery has 13 burials from World War I and World War II with their distinctive Commonwealth War Graves Commission headstones. Buried here are 20-year-old Pilot Officer Philip Henry Lowther RAF (1922–1942) who was killed in a flying accident when the Bristol Blenheim he was flying crashed into a pylon at Stoke Holy Cross in Norfolk during an air test in 1942. Also buried here is Crimean War veteran Sergeant Major William Rogers (1823–1897) of the 21st Royal Scots Fusiliers who was awarded the Distinguished Conduct Medal in 1855. He ended his days as a Chelsea Pensioner at the Royal Hospital Chelsea. Buried beside him is his son the historian and geologist Inkerman Rogers FGS (1866–1959). Here also is an early Boy Scouts burial, that of Robert James Alford, who died in 1912 aged 17 and who has the Scouting emblem on his headstone. There is a memorial to the Belgian refugees who died in Bideford during World War I and who are buried in the cemetery. Across the way on Bowden Green is The Annex, the cemetery extension which was opened when the original 1889 cemetery was closed to burials.

Moreton House (formerly until 1821 Daddon House) is a grade II listed country house and former large estate near Bideford, North Devon, England. The house is about one mile west of the old centre of Bideford town, its entrance drive leading off the south side of the road between Bideford and the village of Abbotsham. It has in recent years become increasingly surrounded by the suburbs of Bideford, and in 2014 only 5 acres of the former parkland remain attached to the house. The estate is said anciently to have been the property of the famous Grenville family, lords of the Manor of Bideford, and of Stowe, Kilkhampton in Cornwall. It was later acquired by the Buck merchant family of Bideford, which rebuilt the house in 1760 and again in 1821. In 1858 the Buck family changed its name to Stucley, in reference to a recent female ancestress and heiress. The now "Stucley" family, which had inherited other substantial residences at Hartland Abbey, Affeton and North Molton, sold Moreton House in 1956, after which it was occupied by Grenville College, a private school, which vacated the site in 2009. The house is a fine example of Georgian architecture and had at one time ornate gardens with two lakes, fountains, waterfalls and formal herbaceous borders. The house with five acres of land was offered for sale in 2014 for the surprisingly low price of £500,000. The house's former name is memorialised by an industrial estate called "Daddon Court" a short distance to the south of the house.

Annery was an historic estate in the parish of Monkleigh, North Devon. It was one of the original endowments of Tavistock Abbey, founded in 961. The first recorded tenant of the estate was Osbert de Annery, who took his name from the estate. By 1260 the estate was held by the Stapeldons; Bishop of Exeter Walter de Stapeldon (1261–1326) was born at Annery. From the Stapeldons, it was inherited by the Hankfords, amongst whom were the judge Sir William Hankford (ca. 1350 – 1423). In about 1800 the mansion house was rebuilt or significantly remodelled in the neo-classical style by the Tardrews. It was demolished in the late 1950s. The estate was split-up and is now in multiple ownership. A bungalow occupies the site of the former manor house. Three of the Victorian gatehouses survive as does the Georgian dower house and the stable-block.

It is bordered clockwise from the north by the parishes of Bideford, Weare Giffard, Monkleigh, and Littleham, its eastern border being formed by a meander of the River Torridge and the western by the River Yeo.

It also contains some finely carved early 16th-century bench-ends. General George Monck, who lived at Great Potheridge in Merton parish to the south, was baptised here in 1608. Its tower was replaced by a turret after it was destroyed by a lightning strike in the 1820s. Near to Pillmouth on the River Torridge was the entrance to the Rolle Canal, opened in 1827. An extension of the London and South Western Railway between Bideford and Great Torrington was opened in 1872, and the line which ran through the parish now forms part of the Tarka Trail of footpaths and cycle routes.
