Bude
Bude is a tiny seaside resort town in north eastern Cornwall, England, in the civil church of Bude-Stratton as well as at the mouth of the River Neet (additionally recognized locally as the River Strat). It was often formerly referred to as Bude Haven. It lies southwest of Stratton, southern of Flexbury as well as Poughill, as well as north of Widemouth Bay and also is located along the A3073 road off the A39. Bude is twinned with Ergué-Gabéric in Brittany, France. Bude's coast encounters Bude Bay in the Celtic Sea, part of the Atlantic Ocean. The population of the civil parish can be located under Bude-Stratton. Its earlier significance was as a harbour, and then a resource of sea sand beneficial for improving the moorland dirt. The Victorians favoured it as a watering place, and it was a popular seaside location in the 20th century. In the 1951 Cornwall volume of The Buildings of England, Nikolaus Pevsner explained Bude as "Not an appealing harbour-town compared to others in Cornwall as well as Devon", and also continues to say that the church is "useless".
