Boscastle
Boscastle is a village as well as fishing port on the north coast 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 and 5 miles (8 km) northeast of Tintagel. The harbour is a natural inlet safeguarded by two stone harbour walls integrated in 1584 by Sir Richard Grenville and is the only substantial harbour for 20 miles (32 kilometres) along the shore. The town extends up the valleys of the River Valency as well as River Jordan. Heavy rainfall on 16 August 2004 created considerable damages to the village. Boscastle exists within the Cornwall Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). The South West Coast Path passes through the village. The town, with its stunning harbour, is a popular visitor destination. Among the attractions 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 owned by the National Trust, consisting of both sides of the harbour, Forrabury Stitches, high over the Boscastle as well as separated right into ancient "stitchmeal" farming plots, and large areas of the Valency Valley, recognized for its connections to Thomas Hardy. The previous harbour stables (part of the National Trust estate) are now a hostel run by YHA, preferred with pedestrians. The National Trust runs a patronize the harbour, as well as a site visitor centre in the Old Smithy.
