Bude
Bude is a tiny seaside resort community in north eastern Cornwall, England, in the civil church of Bude-Stratton as well as at the mouth of the River Neet (additionally recognized locally as the River Strat). It was occasionally formerly called Bude Haven. It lies southwest of Stratton, southern of Flexbury as well as Poughill, and north of Widemouth Bay and lies along the A3073 roadway off the A39. Bude is twinned with Ergué-Gabéric in Brittany, France. Bude's coastline deals with Bude Bay in the Celtic Sea, part of the Atlantic Ocean. The population of the civil church can be located under Bude-Stratton. Its earlier significance was as a harbour, and afterwards a resource of sea sand beneficial for boosting the moorland soil. The Victorians favoured it as a watering place, as well as it was a prominent seaside location in the 20th century. In the 1951 Cornwall volume of The Structures of England, Nikolaus Pevsner explained Bude as "Not an appealing harbour-town compared with others in Cornwall and Devon", and continues to say that the church is "useless".
