- Join us for a walk in Boscastle, Cornwall, England. Our walk starts by the Cobweb Inn. We walk down Penally Hill and alongside the River Valency to The Museum of Witchcraft and Magic where we cross over the bridge and walk down to Boscastle Harbour. After enjoying the views, we head back into the village and take a look at The Wellington Hotel before finishing our walk by the Cobweb Inn.
Boscastle is a village and fishing port on the north coast of Cornwall, England, UK. It is 14 miles south of Bude and 5 miles northeast of Tintagel. The harbour is a natural inlet protected by two stone harbour walls built in 1584 by Sir Richard Grenville and is the only significant harbour for 20 miles along the coast. The village extends up the valleys of the River Valency and River Jordan. Heavy rainfall on 16 August 2004 caused extensive damage to the village.
The village, with its picturesque harbour, is a popular tourist destination. Among the attractions are the Museum of Witchcraft, Uncle Paul's Emporium, the Boscastle pottery shop, and access to the South West Coast Path.
Much of the land in and around Boscastle is owned by the National Trust, including both sides of the harbour, Forrabury Stitches, high above the Boscastle and divided into ancient "stitchmeal" cultivation plots, and large areas of the Valency Valley, known for its connections to Thomas Hardy.
The former harbour stables (part of the National Trust estate) are now a youth hostel run by YHA, popular with walkers. The National Trust runs a shop at the harbour and a visitor centre in the Old Smithy.
Boscastle lies within the Cornwall Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). The South West Coast Path passes through the village.
The Wellington Hotel is an old coaching inn (16th-century) near the harbour; its furnishings include church lamps which were donated by the architect Thomas Hardy and stained glass windows installed in 1846.
A flash flood on 16 August 2004 caused extensive damage to the village. Residents were trapped in houses as the roads turned into rivers: people were trapped on roofs, in cars, in buildings and on the river's banks. The village's visitor centre was washed away. Two Royal Air Force Westland Sea King rescue helicopters from Chivenor, three Royal Navy Sea Kings from Culdrose, one RAF Sea King from St Mawgan and one Coastguard S61 helicopter from Portland searched for and assisted casualties in and around the village.
The operation was coordinated by the Aeronautical Rescue Coordination Centre (ARCC) based at RAF Kinloss in Scotland in the largest peacetime rescue operation ever launched in the UK. A total of 91 people were rescued and there were no fatalities, only one broken thumb. Around 50 cars were swept into the harbour and the bridge was washed away, roads were submerged under 9 ft of water, making communication effectively impossible until flood-waters subsided. The sewerage system burst, and for this range of health and safety reasons Boscastle was declared temporarily inaccessible.
The causes of the flooding were: over 2.4 inches of rainfall (typically a month's rainfall) fell in two hours; the ground was already saturated due to the previous two weeks of above average rainfall; the drainage basin has many steep slopes, and has areas of impermeable slate causing rapid surface run-off; Boscastle is at the confluence (where tributaries meet) of two rivers, Valency and Jordan; a large quantity of water all arrived within a short space of time causing the rivers to overflow; the flooding coincided with a high tide, making the effect worse.
The effects were homes, businesses and cars belonging to more than 1,000 people were swept away; income from tourism was lost, which affected livelihoods and the local economy; there were vast numbers of subsequent insurance claims; no lives were lost, partly due to the rapid response of the emergency services.
Thanks for watching, we hope you enjoy!

My Granddad lived in Boscastle for years. So when I was younger I heave very fond memories of being there behind shown around by him, and staying with him.xx
Have a lot of happy memories of Boscastle and the surrounding north coast of Cornwall having spent most of my child hood holidays in Devon & Cornwall. Met my now wife in 1989 and remember going to Boscastle after convincing her very strict Italian parents that we were visiting friends that owned a holiday cottage there. Still talk and laugh about it today without doubt is on own bucket list to revisit as now live in Perth Western Australia. We do find it hard now adjusting to uk life when we visit as no one says hello to each other which is a great shame because as they say smile at someone and the whole worlds smile back !!
Thanks so much for watching and sharing your memories 😊
UK is a scary place now

I went there a couole of year ago to visit the museum. Wonderful place. I went in the shop you passed at the start on the left. I was buying a basket full of stuff. The man behind me had two packets of shrink wrapped beetroot in his hand. I let him go before me , as he was obviously a native going about his business. When he got to the till he put his beetroot on the counter and asked for a bottle of dead mans fingers rum . Thats all he bought 😂👍
Haha brilliant 😂

Forse non leggerete mai la mia richiesta di informazioni ,volevo sapere che differenze ci sono esattamente è semplicemente tra il popolo della Bretagna francese e quello della Cornovaglia ,intendo come ospitalità modo di fare integrazione con loro perché mi vorrei trasferire essendo anche un amante delle leggende celtiche. Io le ho visitato entrambe ma non ho avuto modo di assaporare le differenze culturali e per ciò che riguarda la tradizione di Re Artù quale è ripeto l'integrazione in livello di integrazione con le due popolazioni per un italiano anche a livello lavorativo vi ringrazio e vi faccio i complimenti per il video.
Le Differenze paesaggistiche che io ho potuto notare sono che in Cornovaglia si trova molto più verde essere come essere in Irlanda mentre la Bretagna francese a volte e arida come in Italia è il caldo è afoso mentre in Cornovaglia il clima è più secco e ventilato.
In quale dei due paesi prevale di più la cultura celtica e il richiamo alle crociate con vari documenti e reperti storici?
Grazie
Can you tell me the time of year this was in 2021 ?
This was filmed at the end of September. Thanks for watching
The village that Airbnb killed
Very sadly holiday homes have ripped the heart out of Boscastle and many other places. Homes have gone. I live in one street of 19 dwellings of which only 5 are lived in.
@@anneknight3596 It is really sad. There should be a law where the owners must live in the properties for at least 9 months of the year or something. I know that 3 of the cottages are owned by 1 x politician that lives in London. The old oil house is 2 of them
There are now plans afoot to require planning permission when turning a home into a a business.@@leespiderpod
