Boscastle
Boscastle is a town and also angling port on the north coast of Cornwall, England, UK, in the civil parish of Forrabury and Minster (where the 2011 Census population was included). It is 14 miles (23 km) south of Bude and 5 miles (8 kilometres) northeast of Tintagel. The harbour is an all-natural inlet safeguarded by two rock harbour wall surfaces integrated in 1584 by Sir Richard Grenville as well as is the only considerable harbour for 20 miles (32 km) along the coast. The village prolongs up the valleys of the River Valency and also River Jordan. Heavy rainfall on 16 August 2004 caused considerable damages to the town. Boscastle exists within the Cornwall Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). The South West Coast Path goes through the town. The village, with its picturesque harbour, is a popular traveler location. Amongst the attractions 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 split into ancient "stitchmeal" growing plots, and big locations of the Valency Valley, known for its connections to Thomas Hardy. The previous harbour stables (part of the National Trust estate) are now a youth hostel run by YHA, prominent with pedestrians. The National Trust runs a patronize the harbour, and a site visitor centre in the Old Smithy.
