Boscastle
Boscastle is a town and also angling port on the north shore 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 as well as 5 miles (8 kilometres) northeast of Tintagel. The harbour is an all-natural inlet secured by two rock harbour walls built in 1584 by Sir Richard Grenville and also is the only significant harbour for 20 miles (32 km) along the coast. The village expands up the valleys of the River Valency and River Jordan. Heavy rainfall on 16 August 2004 triggered considerable damage to the village. Boscastle lies within the Cornwall Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). The South West Coast Path passes through the town. The village, with its stunning harbour, is a preferred visitor destination. Among the destinations 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, including both sides of the harbour, Forrabury Stitches, high above the Boscastle and also separated right into old "stitchmeal" growing stories, and big areas of the Valency Valley, known for its links to Thomas Hardy. The previous harbour stables (part of the National Trust estate) are now a hostel run by YHA, preferred with walkers. The National Trust runs a patronize the harbour, and also a visitor centre in the Old Smithy.
