Local Interest & Further Information

Boscastle has much to occupy your time spent staying here. Whether a short break or an extended holiday, you will find plenty to see and do.

A relaxing stroll around the harbour and main street is all it takes to discover shops and galleries, a museum and a pottery, arts and crafts.
Stopping along the way at one of the local cafes or restaurants for coffee or a hearty lunch of freshly caught fish and locally produced meat and vegetables. Or perhaps venturing beyond ythe village to discover some of the most impressive cliffs, beaches and seascapes in the country along the North Cornwall coast.

If you're planning a more active stay, perhaps the local surf can tempt you or the famous Camel Trail biking attraction. Walkers could explore the Valency Valley or take in a section or two of the 630 mile Southwest Coast Path.

Please see the list below for a few suggestions.

That's why we build this place and that's where the money goes."
