Our View
There's more to Boscastle than a picturesque natural harbour and village. The Elizabethan quay sits in an impressive amphitheatre of steep cliffs, and is home to quaint, stone-built cottages, shops and tea-rooms. Venture beyond the picture-postcard harbour and a cliff path takes you to the Willapark headland and an intriguing ex-folly, now used as a Coastwatch lookout. Nearby walks around Forrabury Stitches offer a rare glimpse at a surviving farmed landscape showing ancient Celtic strip fields. If you wander further afield, you'll discover the half-forgotten churches of Minster and St Juliots – the latter of these being where novelist Thomas Hardy met his future wife Emma in the 1870s.
