Boscastle
Boscastle is a village as well as 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 km) south of Bude as well as 5 miles (8 km) northeast of Tintagel. The harbour is a natural inlet protected by two stone harbour walls integrated in 1584 by Sir Richard Grenville and also is the only considerable harbour for 20 miles (32 km) along the coastline. The village expands up the valleys of the River Valency and also River Jordan. Heavy rainfall on 16 August 2004 created substantial damages to the town. Boscastle exists within the Cornwall Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). The South West Coast Path goes through the village. The town, with its attractive harbour, is a popular vacationer location. Among the tourist attractions are the Museum of Witchcraft, Uncle Paul's Emporium, the Boscastle pottery store, and also access to the South West Coast Path. Much of the land in and around Boscastle is possessed by the National Trust, including both sides of the harbour, Forrabury Stitches, high above the Boscastle and split into old "stitchmeal" cultivation stories, as well as big areas of the Valency Valley, recognized for its links to Thomas Hardy. The former harbour stables (part of the National Trust estate) are now a youth hostel run by YHA, prominent with pedestrians. The National Trust runs a patronize the harbour, and a site visitor centre in the Old Smithy.
