Boscastle is a village as well as angling port on the north coast of Cornwall, England, UK, in the civil parish of Forrabury and Minster (where the 2011 Census population was included). It is 14 miles (23 kilometres) south of Bude and 5 miles (8 kilometres) northeast of Tintagel. The harbour is an all-natural inlet secured by two rock harbour walls integrated in 1584 by Sir Richard Grenville as well as is the only significant harbour for 20 miles (32 km) along the shore. The village extends up the valleys of the River Valency as well as River Jordan. Heavy rainfall on 16 August 2004 caused extensive damage to the town. Boscastle lies within the Cornwall Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). The South West Coast Path passes through the village. The town, with its attractive harbour, is a prominent traveler destination. Amongst the attractions are the Museum of Witchcraft, Uncle Paul’s Emporium, the Boscastle ceramic store, and access to the South West Coast Path. Much of the land around Boscastle is possessed by the National Trust, including both sides of the harbour, Forrabury Stitches, high over the Boscastle and also split into ancient “stitchmeal” cultivation stories, and also large areas of the Valency Valley, known for its links to Thomas Hardy. The previous harbour stables (part of the National Trust estate) are currently a hostel run by YHA, popular with pedestrians. The National Trust runs a patronize the harbour, as well as a visitor centre in the Old Smithy.
