Neighbourhood information

The picturesque harbour of Boscastle is one of Cornwall’s most romantic places. The long narrow valley runs down to a steep and rocky entrance to the raging sea beyond. It is a place steeped in history, associated with authors and artists who have been inspired by its remoteness and rugged beauty, it has also been a working harbour, both for fishermen and stone workers over the years. The main village sits high above the harbour and is a pleasant place to explore. Boscastle House is set at the top of the village (this gives us fantastic views), the walk down the old village to the harbour is a beautiful and interesting one, however it is a steep hill to walk back up, as is most of Cornwall...
