Bude
Bude is a little seaside resort town in north eastern Cornwall, England, in the civil parish of Bude-Stratton and at the mouth of the River Neet (also known locally as the River Strat). It was occasionally previously known as Bude Haven. It exists southwest of Stratton, south of Flexbury and Poughill, and also north of Widemouth Bay as well as is located along the A3073 road off the A39. Bude is twinned with Ergué-Gabéric in Brittany, France. Bude's shore faces Bude Bay in the Celtic Sea, part of the Atlantic Ocean. The population of the civil church can be found under Bude-Stratton. Its earlier significance was as a harbour, and afterwards a source of sea sand valuable for improving the moorland soil. The Victorians favoured it as a watering place, and it was a preferred seaside destination in the 20th century. In the 1951 Cornwall quantity of The Structures of England, Nikolaus Pevsner explained Bude as "Not an eye-catching harbour-town compared to others in Cornwall and Devon", as well as remains to say that the church is "inconsequential".
