Boscastle
Boscastle is a village as well as angling port on the north coastline of Cornwall, England, UK, in the civil parish of Forrabury and also Minster (where the 2011 Census population was included). It is 14 miles (23 km) south of Bude and 5 miles (8 kilometres) northeast of Tintagel. The harbour is an all-natural inlet shielded by 2 rock harbour walls constructed in 1584 by Sir Richard Grenville and is the only substantial harbour for 20 miles (32 kilometres) along the coast. The town prolongs up the valleys of the River Valency as well as River Jordan. Heavy rainfall on 16 August 2004 created extensive 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 village, with its picturesque harbour, is a prominent traveler location. Among the tourist attractions are the Museum of Witchcraft, Uncle Paul's Emporium, the Boscastle pottery store, as well as access to the South West Coast Path. Much of the land in and around Boscastle is had by the National Trust, consisting of both sides of the harbour, Forrabury Stitches, high over the Boscastle as well as split right into ancient "stitchmeal" cultivation stories, as well as big locations of the Valency Valley, known for its links to Thomas Hardy. The former harbour stables (part of the National Trust estate) are now a hostel run by YHA, preferred with pedestrians. The National Trust runs a shop at the harbour, and a site visitor centre in the Old Smithy.
