Boscastle
Boscastle is a town and 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 km) south of Bude and 5 miles (8 km) northeast of Tintagel. The harbour is a natural inlet secured by 2 rock harbour walls integrated in 1584 by Sir Richard Grenville as well as is the only significant harbour for 20 miles (32 km) along the coastline. The village prolongs up the valleys of the River Valency and River Jordan. Heavy rainfall on 16 August 2004 created comprehensive damages to the village. Boscastle lies within the Cornwall Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). The South West Coast Path travels through the town. The town, with its attractive harbour, is a prominent vacationer location. Among the tourist attractions are the Museum of Witchcraft, Uncle Paul's Emporium, the Boscastle pottery shop, and accessibility to the South West Coast Path. Much of the land in and around Boscastle is possessed by the National Trust, consisting of both sides of the harbour, Forrabury Stitches, high above the Boscastle and split right into ancient "stitchmeal" growing stories, as well as large locations of the Valency Valley, known for its links to Thomas Hardy. The former harbour stables (part of the National Trust estate) are now a hostel run by YHA, prominent with walkers. The National Trust runs a patronize the harbour, and also a site visitor centre in the Old Smithy.
