Boscastle
Boscastle is a village as well as fishing port on the north coast of Cornwall, England, UK, in the civil parish of Forrabury and Minster (where the 2011 Census population was included). It is 14 miles (23 kilometres) south of Bude and 5 miles (8 kilometres) northeast of Tintagel. The harbour is an all-natural inlet shielded by 2 stone harbour walls integrated in 1584 by Sir Richard Grenville as well as is the only considerable harbour for 20 miles (32 kilometres) along the shore. The village extends up the valleys of the River Valency as well as River Jordan. Heavy rainfall on 16 August 2004 created substantial damages to the village. Boscastle lies within the Cornwall Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). The South West Coast Path travels through the village. The village, with its stunning harbour, is a popular visitor destination. Among the attractions are the Museum of Witchcraft, Uncle Paul's Emporium, the Boscastle ceramic shop, and also accessibility 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 separated right into ancient "stitchmeal" farming stories, and huge locations of the Valency Valley, recognized for its connections to Thomas Hardy. The former harbour stables (part of the National Trust estate) are now a hostel run by YHA, popular with pedestrians. The National Trust runs a shop at the harbour, and a site visitor centre in the Old Smithy.
