The village has a beautiful Elizabethan harbour and is an ideal base from which to explore Cornwall. 

Ideally situated to explore the breath taking coastal scenery of North Cornwall, the enchanting village of Boscastle owes its existence to two main factors. The unique, sinuous natural inlet, which forms one of the oldest and most famous fishing ports in North Cornwall; and the Norman de Botterell family, who built Bottreaux Castle overlooking the Jordan Valley and gave the village the name which has survived, in its corrupted form, to the present day. 

The village itself stands in a deep coombe created by the convergence of the valleys formed by the rivers Valency and Jordan. The captivating, wooded valley scenery is crossed by numerous paths and is rich in wildlife. The Boscastle woodland, well protected by the steep sides of the Valency Valley, is considered to be a remnant of the original tree cover of Britain. 

Now part of the North Cornwall Heritage Coast, and mostly owned by the National Trust, Boscastle and the surrounding countryside are one of the North coast's major tourist attractions. The South West Peninsula Coast Path runs along the spectacular cliffs, formed by the awesome, rocky drop of green farmers' fields into the Atlantic Ocean. Boscastle is at the centre of a number of spectacular walks in the area. Maps to all itineraries are available at the Bottreaux Hotel.
