Pottington Business Park, Barnstaple, EX31 1AT

Pottington Business Park lies in the town of Barnstaple, a civil parish in the North Devon district of Devon, England. Barnstaple is a river‑port town situated at the River Taw’s lowest crossing point before the Bristol Channel. From the 14th century the town was licensed to export wool, earning it great wealth, and later it imported Irish wool. As the harbour silted up, other trades such as shipbuilding, foundries and sawmills developed. A Victorian market building survives, featuring a high glass and timber roof on iron columns. The business park is part of this historic town, providing commercial space amid a setting that blends industrial heritage with the town’s enduring market tradition. Residents and visitors benefit from the town’s long maritime legacy and its well‑preserved Victorian architecture.
