Boscastle
Boscastle is a town and fishing port on the north coastline of Cornwall, England, UK, in the civil parish of Forrabury as well as Minster (where the 2011 Census population was consisted of). 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 two rock harbour walls integrated in 1584 by Sir Richard Grenville and is the only significant harbour for 20 miles (32 km) along the coastline. The town extends up the valleys of the River Valency as well as River Jordan. Heavy rainfall on 16 August 2004 caused substantial damages to the town. Boscastle lies within the Cornwall Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). The South West Coast Path travels through the village. The town, with its stunning harbour, is a popular tourist destination. Among the tourist attractions are the Museum of Witchcraft, Uncle Paul's Emporium, the Boscastle pottery store, and access to the South West Coast Path. Much of the land around Boscastle is owned by the National Trust, including both sides of the harbour, Forrabury Stitches, high above the Boscastle as well as split right into old "stitchmeal" farming stories, as well as big areas of the Valency Valley, recognized for its connections to Thomas Hardy. The previous harbour stables (part of the National Trust estate) are now a hostel run by YHA, prominent with walkers. The National Trust runs a shop at the harbour, and also a site visitor centre in the Old Smithy.
