Boscastle is a village and also angling port on the north shore of Cornwall, England, UK, in the civil parish of Forrabury and also Minster (where the 2011 Census population was included). It is 14 miles (23 km) south of Bude and 5 miles (8 kilometres) northeast of Tintagel. The harbour is an all-natural inlet protected by 2 rock harbour walls built in 1584 by Sir Richard Grenville as well as is the only significant harbour for 20 miles (32 km) along the coastline. The town expands up the valleys of the River Valency and also River Jordan. Heavy rainfall on 16 August 2004 triggered comprehensive damage to the village. Boscastle exists within the Cornwall Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). The South West Coast Path travels through the town. The town, with its attractive harbour, is a prominent tourist destination. Among the tourist attractions are the Museum of Witchcraft, Uncle Paul’s Emporium, the Boscastle pottery shop, and accessibility to the South West Coast Path. Much of the land around Boscastle is possessed by the National Trust, consisting of both sides of the harbour, Forrabury Stitches, high above the Boscastle and also divided right into old “stitchmeal” cultivation plots, and also large locations of the Valency Valley, known for its connections to Thomas Hardy. The previous harbour stables (part of the National Trust estate) are now a hostel run by YHA, preferred with walkers. The National Trust runs a shop at the harbour, as well as a visitor centre in the Old Smithy.
