Boscastle is one of North Cornwall’s most picturesque harbour villages, tucked into a steep valley where the River Valency meets the sea. Its natural harbour, framed by dramatic cliffs and rugged headlands, has been a safe haven for fishing boats for centuries and remains one of the most scenic spots on the Cornish coast.

The village itself is a charming mix of stone cottages, independent shops, and cosy cafés, all set against a backdrop of wild coastal beauty. A stroll along the harbour walls offers spectacular views out to sea, while the surrounding coastal paths lead to some of the most breathtaking stretches of the South West Coast Path.

Boscastle is perhaps best known for its resilience, the community famously rebuilt and recovered after the devastating floods of 2004 but today it’s better known for its timeless beauty and peaceful atmosphere. Whether you’re exploring the quaint harbour, visiting the Museum of Witchcraft and Magic, or simply soaking up the coastal views, Boscastle perfectly captures the spirit of North Cornwall’s dramatic landscape.
