The picturesque fishing village of Boscastle is steeped in history and has a fantastic cafe

Nestled at the base of a steep wooded valley, the pretty harbour and village of Boscastle is an absolute must see. Once home to the inimitable Thomas Hardy, there’s so much history to soak up (in fact the settlement dates all the way back to the 1100s). It’s also one of THE most beautiful spots on this coastline.

Two awesome beaches, a sea pool and plenty of shops and places to eat - that's Bude

Make a day of it in Bude with a bite to eat in town too, there’s a reason it’s one of Cornwall’s most popular spots.
