Boscastle stone harbour wall with fishing boats and leisure boats mored to this Cornish fishing port
The attractive harbour of Boscastle is situated on the ruggedly beautiful North Cornwall village was at one time a thriving port and was once Luanceston's port for shipping slate, corn and tanning bark, but the advent of the railways to the north of Cornwall brought about its decline. It is now a highly popular tourist destination. Boscastle village clings to the sides of the highly attractive Valency Valley, which runs inland for five miles and is particularly beautiful in the spring and delightful in autumn, a stream wends through the valley on its way to the sea. Much of the valley is now owned by the National Trust.
