Boscastle is a town and fishing port on the north coastline of Cornwall, England, UK, in the civil parish of Forrabury and 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 a natural inlet secured by 2 stone harbour wall surfaces built in 1584 by Sir Richard Grenville as well as is the only considerable harbour for 20 miles (32 kilometres) along the coast. The village expands up the valleys of the River Valency and also River Jordan. Heavy rainfall on 16 August 2004 created considerable damage to the town. Boscastle lies within the Cornwall Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). The South West Coast Path passes through the town. The village, with its attractive harbour, is a preferred traveler location. Amongst the attractions are the Museum of Witchcraft, Uncle Paul’s Emporium, the Boscastle pottery store, and accessibility to the South West Coast Path. Much of the land in and around Boscastle is possessed by the National Trust, consisting of both sides of the harbour, Forrabury Stitches, high above the Boscastle and separated into old “stitchmeal” farming plots, as well as big areas of the Valency Valley, understood for its links to Thomas Hardy. The previous harbour stables (part of the National Trust estate) are now a youth hostel run by YHA, prominent with pedestrians. The National Trust runs a patronize the harbour, as well as a visitor centre in the Old Smithy.
