Boscastle
Boscastle is a village and angling port on the north coastline 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 kilometres) northeast of Tintagel. The harbour is a natural inlet secured by two rock harbour walls integrated in 1584 by Sir Richard Grenville as well as is the only substantial harbour for 20 miles (32 km) along the shore. The town extends up the valleys of the River Valency and River Jordan. Heavy rainfall on 16 August 2004 triggered considerable damages to the town. Boscastle exists within the Cornwall Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). The South West Coast Path goes through the village. The village, with its stunning harbour, is a preferred traveler location. Among the tourist attractions are the Museum of Witchcraft, Uncle Paul's Emporium, the Boscastle ceramic shop, as well as access to the South West Coast Path. Much of the land around Boscastle is owned by the National Trust, including both sides of the harbour, Forrabury Stitches, high over the Boscastle and divided into old "stitchmeal" growing plots, and huge 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, prominent with walkers. The National Trust runs a patronize the harbour, and a site visitor centre in the Old Smithy.
