Boscastle
One of the few sheltered harbours on the north coast, Boscastle became famous in 2004 due to the devastating floods that swept through the village. The community has recovered remarkably well, and Boscastle is once more a thriving resort and a lovely village to visit.

Branscombe Beach
A long shingle mile long beach stretching from Branscombe to Beer Head. You can walk there along the coastal path or park in the nearby car park (charges apply). There are facilities nearby and a dog exercise area.

Mousehole
This cosy village is awash with myth and legend; it would seem that most fairytales concerning Cornwall feature Mousehole. The Christmas lights here draw people from the four corners.

The Napoleon Inn
A traditional, low-beamed 16th century inn where food is seasonal and freshly cooked. The inn is in the upper part of the village so be prepared for a climb if you walk from the lower part. There's a beer garden and beer terrace over the road and dogs are welcome.
