Home Contents Boscastle

Boscastle Harbour is the only natural harbour for 20 miles along the North Cornwall coast.  A century ago, the village was a thriving port until the arrival of the railways.

Explore the delights of the village, with its cottages clinging to the side of the Valency Valley, craft shops, Witches Museum and wide range of restaurants.  Walk the cliffs or take the delightful path alongside the River Valency.  Just over a mile up the Valley is St Juliot Church which was restored by the 19th Century novelist Thomas Hardy.  Hardy met Emma Gifford, his future wife, here and the area features in his novel a Pair of Blue Eyes.
