Boscastle
Boscastle is a town as well as fishing 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 included). It is 14 miles (23 kilometres) south of Bude and also 5 miles (8 km) northeast of Tintagel. The harbour is a natural inlet secured by 2 stone harbour wall surfaces integrated in 1584 by Sir Richard Grenville as well as is the only substantial harbour for 20 miles (32 km) along the shore. The village extends up the valleys of the River Valency as well as River Jordan. Heavy rainfall on 16 August 2004 caused considerable 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 village, with its picturesque harbour, is a preferred visitor destination. Amongst the attractions are the Museum of Witchcraft, Uncle Paul's Emporium, the Boscastle ceramic store, 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 also split into old "stitchmeal" cultivation plots, and also big locations of the Valency Valley, recognized for its connections to Thomas Hardy. The previous harbour stables (part of the National Trust estate) are now a youth hostel run by YHA, popular with walkers. The National Trust runs a shop at the harbour, and also a site visitor centre in the Old Smithy.
