Advantages: Beautiful, interesting witchcraft museum

Disadvantages: Isn't a lot to do for teenagers and younger children if weather is not good

I have visited Boscastle twice, Once for the day a few months before the major flood and the second time we stayed there for a week in a cottage on an extremely steep hill!

Boscastle is beautiful and unspoilt. There isn't a great deal to do but it really doesn't matter as you will be occupied just taking in your surroundings. The natural harbour is simply beautiful and if you are feeling athletic you can take a walk up the mildly rocky path to take in the awesome view of the green waters below, crashing against the rocky cliffs.

There is a few craft type shops, a leather shop, a couple of pubs serving fantastic local cuisine. There is also a witchcraft museum which is charmingly cornish. They even leave broom sticks for you to borrow at your leisure! I find this museum fascinating as it is full of tales about local withcraft and has many objects which have been used for witchcraft over the years.

I think the thing I remember the most about arriving at Boscastle is that you travel into the valley on a extremely windy, steep hill and you really just cant see the place you feel like you are in the middle of nowhere but as you turn the last bend you suddenly see this beautiful village surrounded by steep hills and a stream taking water from the valley to the majestic green sea.

If you enjoy beautiful scenery and don't need the hustle and bustle of the city then you really must visit Boscastle which is situated on the North Coast of Cornwall, near other picturesque villages such as Tintagel.

acommodation ranges from bed and breakfast to hotels to holiday cottages. Prices range fron £250 - £1000 depending on type of acommodation and time of year.

Summary: Beautiful unspoilt fishing village
