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.
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.
In a stunning setting, this pub offers wonderful views over Trebarwith Strand, excellent food and fine Cornish ales. A popular place for walkers, there is also a surf school nearby.
Starting in the picturesque seaside village of Boscastle, this four and a half mile walk explores the cliffs above the harbour then inland through woodland and along the river. This moderate walk has some steps and stiles with a few short, steep ascents. Why not visit the pub on your return to Boscastle and enjoy a well deserved pint.
This is the place for the best takeaway fish and chips in the area. A range of burgers, pies and other takeaway foods also available.
Truly beautiful when the tide is out. Just 5 minutes from Tintagel and good for bass fishing too.
A beautifully renovated 17th century village pub with a warm and cosy atmosphere and fabulous food. There's a lovely open fire in the old bar where you can enjoy a relaxing drink and light lunch or the finest pub food is served in the dining room.
Set in the heart of stunning Boscastle, this family friendly pub serves home-made food and Cornish ales. The bar has open fires to keep you warm in winter and outside seating for relaxed dining during the summer. Dogs are welcome.
A good moorland walk starting from the church in St Breward, on the western side of the moor. The views include Britain's first commercial wind farm at Delabole, then the lovely wooded valley of the Camel estuary.
Tintagel, legendary home of King Arthur and the knights of the round table. On Tintagel Head the atmospheric ruins of the 12th Century castle command spectacular views up and down the rugged north coast of Cornwall. Take a few days to explore the surrounding area, which is steeped in Arthurian myth.
A few years ago, the Classic Cottages team started writing about where we live and why we love it. Over time these have evolved into the Classic Guide.
