Boscastle
Boscastle is a town and also angling port on the north shore of Cornwall, England, UK, in the civil parish of Forrabury and also Minster (where the 2011 Census population was consisted of). It is 14 miles (23 kilometres) south of Bude and 5 miles (8 km) northeast of Tintagel. The harbour is an all-natural inlet safeguarded by 2 rock harbour wall surfaces built in 1584 by Sir Richard Grenville and is the only significant harbour for 20 miles (32 km) along the coast. The town prolongs up the valleys of the River Valency and also 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 goes through the town. The town, with its picturesque harbour, is a prominent visitor location. Amongst the destinations are the Museum of Witchcraft, Uncle Paul's Emporium, the Boscastle ceramic store, and access to the South West Coast Path. Much of the land around Boscastle is possessed by the National Trust, consisting of both sides of the harbour, Forrabury Stitches, high over the Boscastle and also split into ancient "stitchmeal" farming stories, as well as big areas of the Valency Valley, known for its links to Thomas Hardy. The former harbour stables (part of the National Trust estate) are currently a hostel run by YHA, popular with walkers. The National Trust runs a shop at the harbour, and also a visitor centre in the Old Smithy.
