Boscastle
Boscastle is a village and fishing port on the north shore of Cornwall, England, UK, in the civil parish of Forrabury and also Minster (where the 2011 Census population was consisted of). It is 14 miles (23 km) south of Bude and also 5 miles (8 km) northeast of Tintagel. The harbour is an all-natural inlet safeguarded by 2 rock harbour wall surfaces constructed in 1584 by Sir Richard Grenville and also is the only significant harbour for 20 miles (32 kilometres) along the coastline. The village extends up the valleys of the River Valency and also River Jordan. Heavy rainfall on 16 August 2004 triggered comprehensive damages to the village. Boscastle exists within the Cornwall Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). The South West Coast Path goes through the village. The town, with its picturesque harbour, is a popular vacationer location. Among the attractions are the Museum of Witchcraft, Uncle Paul's Emporium, the Boscastle ceramic shop, and access to the South West Coast Path. Much of the land in and around Boscastle is possessed by the National Trust, consisting of both sides of the harbour, Forrabury Stitches, high over the Boscastle and also split right into old "stitchmeal" farming stories, and also huge locations of the Valency Valley, recognized for its connections to Thomas Hardy. The former harbour stables (part of the National Trust estate) are currently a youth hostel run by YHA, preferred with walkers. The National Trust runs a shop at the harbour, and a site visitor centre in the Old Smithy.
