Getting Around Barnstaple with Reliable Local Transport
From the old medieval lanes around Boutport Street to the newer estates in Roundswell and Anchorwood Bank — Amber Taxi gets you there without the hassle.
A Taxi Service That Knows Barnstaple, Not Just the Satnav
Barnstaple isn’t a grid of identical streets — it’s a town with a real shape, built around the River Taw’s lowest crossing point. From the old medieval lanes around Boutport Street and The Strand to the newer estates in Roundswell and Anchorwood Bank, knowing the town means knowing the quickest way through it, not just the postcode.
That’s the difference with us. We’re not reading directions off a satnav for the first time — we know which way to come off the Long Bridge at rush hour, where to wait outside the Pannier Market on a Tuesday, and the fastest cut-through from Pilton to the hospital.
Pickup Points We Know Best
Wherever you’re starting from in Barnstaple, we already know the fastest way in and out.
Town Centre & The Square
Quick pickups from the High Street, Butchers Row, the Pannier Market and The Square — handy for shopping trips, evenings out, or hopping between appointments in town.
Barnstaple Railway Station
Met your train? We do regular station runs and know to allow extra time when the level crossing’s down. Quick, no-fuss pickups whatever time your train gets in.
North Devon District Hospital
A short hop north of the town centre — we cover hospital appointments, visiting hours and discharge pickups, including for passengers who need a bit more time getting in and out of the car.
Pilton, Newport & Roundswell
Whether you’re heading out from the older streets of Pilton and Newport or one of the newer roads in Roundswell, we know the back routes that avoid the worst of the town-centre traffic.
The Strand & Anchorwood Bank
Covering the riverside redevelopment area and the older shipbuilding quarter — useful for the new homes, restaurants and leisure spots opening up along the Taw.
Chivenor & Wider North Devon
Regular runs out to Royal Marines Base Chivenor and the surrounding villages, plus connections onward to Braunton, Bideford and beyond.
Local Knowledge That Actually Helps
Anyone can drive a car. Knowing Barnstaple’s quirks — its one-way systems, its market days, which roads back up first — is what actually gets you there on time.
