Let's Visit Cornwall Together
Boscastle
Boscastle is a town of two parts, the old town at the top of the hill and the harbour, deep in the valley. Most visitors pass by the town and head for th harbour where there is a selection of shops, eateries and several outstanding walks.
Boscastle has a number of places to eat from a tea shop, Hotel, pub and nearby farm shop, all offering excellent light lunches. There is also a bakery selling pasties.

Beaches
Although Boscastle does not have a beach, the gentle Rive Valency runs through the valley and at points, it is possible to paddle. There is a rocky cove at Crackington Haven nearby where it is possible to swim, surf and paddle.
Things to Do
There are a small number of shops in the harbour area. Cream teas and pasties are available. The Museum of Witchcraft is a visitor attraction. The allure of Boscastle is the stunning scenery and coast path.
