Bude
Bude is a small seaside resort community in north eastern Cornwall, England, in the civil parish of Bude-Stratton as well as at the mouth of the River Neet (additionally understood locally as the River Strat). It was occasionally previously called Bude Haven. It exists southwest of Stratton, southern of Flexbury as well as Poughill, and north of Widemouth Bay and is located along the A3073 roadway off the A39. Bude is twinned with Ergué-Gabéric in Brittany, France. Bude's shore faces Bude Bay in the Celtic Sea, part of the Atlantic Ocean. The population of the civil parish can be found under Bude-Stratton. Its earlier value was as a harbour, and afterwards a source of sea sand valuable for enhancing the moorland soil. The Victorians favoured it as a watering place, and also it was a prominent seaside destination in the 20th century. In the 1951 Cornwall volume of The Structures of England, Nikolaus Pevsner explained Bude as "Not an eye-catching harbour-town compared with others in Cornwall and also Devon", and continues to say that the church is "useless".
