About Port of Taddiport

This Royal Navy harbor in Devon, UK, is small but sheltered. It is equipped with pilotage and tug services.

Background
Taddiport is a hamlet in North Devon, England, near Great Torrington. The name is believed to derive from toad, a place where toads were found. In the Middle Ages it was a leper colony. A field system next to the hamlet is still divided up as for the medieval strip system of farming. During the years of operation of the Rolle Canal the canal had a quay across the river Torridge from Taddiport.
