Bude
Bude is a small seaside resort community in north eastern Cornwall, England, in the civil parish of Bude-Stratton and also at the mouth of the River Neet (also understood locally as the River Strat). It was occasionally formerly known as Bude Haven. It exists southwest of Stratton, south of Flexbury as well as Poughill, and north of Widemouth Bay and also lies along the A3073 roadway off the A39. Bude is twinned with Ergué-Gabéric in Brittany, France. Bude's coastline encounters Bude Bay in the Celtic Sea, part of the Atlantic Sea. The population of the civil church can be located under Bude-Stratton. Its earlier importance was as a harbour, and then a source of sea sand useful for enhancing the moorland soil. The Victorians favoured it as a watering place, and also it was a popular seaside location in the 20th century. In the 1951 Cornwall quantity of The Structures of England, Nikolaus Pevsner explained Bude as "Not an appealing harbour-town compared to others in Cornwall and also Devon", as well as continues to say that the church is "worthless".
