Boscastle & Tintagel

A charming North Cornwall town with truly stunning scenery, Boscastle is a wonderfully unspoilt place to take a vacation. Full of quaint local charm, Boscastle and the nearby town of Tintagel are characterised by thatched and white-washed cottages, beautiful natural harbours and warm sandy beaches. Savaged by floods in 2004, Boscastle’s strong sense of community spirit remained untarnished, and now fully restored to its former beauty, it makes for a truly special place to visit.

Boscastle and Tintagel are brimming with beautiful walks to be enjoyed, with a vast array of routes and fascinating wildlife to be explored. Surfers need look no further than one of the many picturesque beaches and coves that run between the two attractive towns. Families can enjoy the historic ruins of King Arthur's Castle, take in the quaint Museum of Witchcraft or take a step back in time and visit the Old Mill, complete with its working wheel.

The setting for a Thomas Hardy novel and the town in which popular TV drama Doc Martin is filmed, Boscastle is every bit as striking as it appears on screen. Time a summer visit well and you can catch an Arthurian battle re-enactment, or the fabulous walking festival, with guided tours showing you the staggering beauty that this corner of the world has to offer.
