Sightseeing
The picturesque harbour of Boscastle is one of Cornwall’s most romantic places. The long narrow valley runs down to a steep and rocky entrance to the raging sea beyond. It is a place steeped in history, associated with authors and artists who have been inspired by its remoteness and rugged beauty, but its also been a working harbour, both for fishermen and stone workers over the years. The main village sits high above the harbour and is a pleasant place to explore.
Reasons to visit Boscastle...
Distinctive natural harbour
Surrounding landscape and coastline, much of which is National Trust owned.
Museum of Witchcraft
Associated with authors and artists, including Thomas Hardy, who was inspired by its remoteness and rugged beauty
Abundant in wildlife, dramatic walks and historic features
Great potteries and art galleries
Things to do in Boscastle
The landscape, coastline and quaint old buildings are undoubtedly the main attraction of the local area. These are made all the more interesting with local potteries, art galleries and the Museum of Witchcraft. Also nearby is sacred site Saint Nectan’s Glen where the River Trevillet has created a magnificent 60 foot waterfall cascading into a beautiful valley.
The area also has a number of gorgeous churches, most dating from Norman times and there are plenty of good walks into the beautiful countryside that start in the village.
Explore the area
As you wander around the harbour you will begin to notice the quaint old buildings which have been converted into pubs, restaurants and coffee shops. Look out for the wonky rooftops and crooked cottages, they have real character. The limekiln and storage buildings give a brief reminder of Boscastle's industrial past. It is also worth while looking around the main village on the hill above.
Walking
Follow in the footsteps of the famous novelist Thomas Hardy by taking the path through the woods and up the valley to St. Juliot’s Church. See the Old Rectory where Hardy stayed and met his sweetheart Emma whilst he was an architect working on the church tower.
For fantastic coastal views take the left hand path at the harbour that leads to a slate platform where you can see the ‘Blowhole’ an hour before or after low tide. Boscastle's blow-hole beneath Penally Point is often called the Devil's Bellows. It can be seen thumping and snorting about an hour either side of low tide, blowing a horizontal waterspout halfway across the harbour entrance if the conditions are right. You can follow the path up to Willapark, where the National Coastwatch have a watch-house.
The Visitor Centre
The National Trust Visitor Centre has an extensive gift shop, tea rooms and the usual visitor information such as maps of the area and non expensive walking trail leaflets.

Visit Bude on the north of Cornwall for a holiday that has something for everyone - from romantic retreats for couples, action filled family holidays, or a haven for the nature or geology enthusiast. Bude has twice been voted for the Best UK Coastal Resort in the British Travel Awards, making it can excellent choice for a holiday destination.
As it sits on the Devon border, Bude is the first place you reach when arriving in this beautiful county. With activities and attractions accessible across both counties, why not sample a cream tea made both the Devon and Cornish way and decide which you prefer?
Bude is large enough to provide a good range of facilities with a choice of accommodation, shops, restaurants and sports facilities, yet it is small enough to remain its Cornish charm. The nightlife is also quiet and relaxed. The area has a laid back charm that is traditional in a cherished way. There are many independently owned shops and restaurants for you to explore, with family run businesses creating a strong ethos in the town. There is something for everyone including a diverse range of indoor and outdoor activities - from sports centres, soft play areas and stately homes to fishing, cycling, golf, surfing and other water sports. Bude has plenty to suit all ages, interests or backgrounds.
There are many beautiful sandy beaches to choose from with surfing hotspots, vintage style beach huts and dog friendly choices. There are also spectacular views and unique natural attractions to be found - the Bude sea pool for example is cut into the rock at Summerleaze Beach providing a more relaxed dip or child friendly swim when the sea is rougher.
There is also access to the South West Coast Path, which offers some excellent walking routes, whether you enjoy a short stroll to a stunning picnic spot or prefer a more challenging hike. Bude has some unique rock formations which can provide something of a spectacle while exploring the area - take a Geological tour or simply find Bude's unique rock formations for yourself.
Reasons to visit Bude
Vast expanses of clean, golden, sandy beaches, often backed by rugged cliffs
Fantastic surfing and watersports
Brilliant walking - explore the coast and beaches and geology
Great for activities - cycling; horse-riding; rock-climbing; abseiling; fishing; golfing and more
Several nature reserves in and around the area
Things to do in Bude
Hire a beach hut for the day at Summerleaze Beach. Set on wooden decking right on the beach and painted in pretty pastel shades, the spacious huts can be your beachside retreat for the day. Settle down in a deck chair, and relax. Book from the tourist information office
Visit the Bude Heritage Centre at the Castle by the canal. There’s an exhibition about Bude’s fascinating geology and history and free entry art gallery. Have a bite to eat in the café where you’ll get a taste of local food plus a great view out over the sea
Hire a rowing boat or pedalo and spend an hour messing about on the Bude canal. Prices are around £8 per hour and you can row or pedal a fair way up the canal. Available at the Wharf
The Breakwater on Summerleaze Beach and the right side of Crooklets Beach are great places for crabbing. The tourist information centre sells the equipment you’ll need along to catch the critters and also have reference books to help identify the wildlife you’ll find on the beach
Take the easy going 10 mile circular Planekeepers Path walk following the route of the canal from Bude to the inclined plane at Hobbacott, returning on country footpaths and quiet lanes via the ancient town of Stratton. Guide leaflet available from the tourist information centre
Have some fun at Bude Haven Recreation Park where you’ll find all manner of ball based activities. Pitch and putt, crazy golf, table tennis and squash courts. Perfect if the weather’s a bit dull
You can learn more about the area’s amazing geology with expert Dr Roger Higgs. Get a guided tour and discover exactly what happened when Africa collided with Europe 345 million years ago
Bude Tourist Information Centre
Bude Tourist Information Centre has knowledgeable staff who can help with any local queries. They offer daytrips to Lundy Island, sailing from Bideford or Illfracombe. For walkers, they may be able to hold your luggage or arrange for it to be sent to your next destination.

Located in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Crackington Haven is a small village on the north Cornish coast just west of Bude. Once a small harbour importing coal and limestone from Wales, it narrowly escaped industrial development in the 1800s and is now a small unspoiled, almost secret, cove.
It is a great spot for surfing with the right conditions (lifeguarded during the summer holiday season). Visit in the spring to catch wild flowers and birdsong. Come in summer for bustling beach life.
Spend time exploring and relaxing on the beach which is pebbly at high tide; enjoy a paddle or catch a wave on your boogie board. There is a bistro cafe and a family pub, nearby toilet facilities and a small outlet for beach items.
Reasons to visit Crackington Haven
Located in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty
Spectacular views
Breathtaking scenery and wildlife
Ideal spot for families, with a gently sloping beach in an enclosed bay
Things to do
Take a wooded valley walk inland from the car park and enjoy the breathtaking scenery and wildlife
Take a walk north to Pencarrow Point and climb up to Cornwall's highest cliff at 735 feet
Discover the inspiring parish of St Gennys: churches, ancient farms, historical sites & buildings and tales of shipwrecks
Observe the famous zig-zag folds and faults in rock formations formed millennia ago, from black shale, sandstone and quartz veins
As the tide goes out see what you can find while rock pooling

The ‘Hartland’ stretch of the Cornwall Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty is one of smallest in Cornwall.
A high plateau of sandstone and slate meets the sea here in sheer cliffs up to 475 feet high. Cut through by streams, the serrated coastline makes for tough walking on the South West Coast Path, but it's not an AONB for nothing!
The little church at Morwenstow was once run by the Reverend Stephen ‘Parson’ Hawker, a poet and philanthropist. Inspired by the wild landscape he wrote many poems including the Cornish anthem 'Song of the Western Men' otherwise known as ‘Trelawny’. Hawker's Hut on the coast is built of ships’ timbers with a turf roof and here the Reverend Hawker reputedly used to smoke opium, compose verse and entertain guests such as Alfred Tennyson and Charles Kingsley.
All down the coast exposed, treeless pastureland runs right to the cliff edge. Further inland medieval fields are enclosed by grassy banks or stone Cornish hedges.
There are several deep river valleys with woods of ash, willow, oak and beech and also rare water meadows known as the 'Culm grasslands'. The area is sparsely populated with isolated farmsteads and a few single track roads weaving up the valley sides. Buildings are mostly of local slates, sandstone or cob, and in some of the hollows, ancient thatched cottages remain.
More modern buildings can be found just south of Morwenstow where GCHQ Bude looms over the countryside with its satellite dishes.
The AONB section ends below Menachurch Point just to the north of the town of Bude.
