Boscastle
Boscastle is a village and 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 also 5 miles (8 kilometres) northeast of Tintagel. The harbour is an all-natural inlet safeguarded by 2 rock harbour walls constructed in 1584 by Sir Richard Grenville and is the only considerable harbour for 20 miles (32 kilometres) along the shore. The town extends up the valleys of the River Valency as well as River Jordan. Heavy rainfall on 16 August 2004 created extensive damages to the town. Boscastle lies within the Cornwall Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). The South West Coast Path goes through the town. The town, with its attractive harbour, is a prominent vacationer location. Among the 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 around Boscastle is had by the National Trust, consisting of both sides of the harbour, Forrabury Stitches, high over the Boscastle as well as divided into ancient "stitchmeal" cultivation stories, as well as big areas of the Valency Valley, known for its connections to Thomas Hardy. The former harbour stables (part of the National Trust estate) are now a hostel run by YHA, prominent with pedestrians. The National Trust runs a patronize the harbour, and also a site visitor centre in the Old Smithy.
