Bude - in Cornwall near the Devon border

Bude is North Cornwall’s premier resort with breathtaking coastal scenery and its rugged coastline very popular with walkers. Clean, sandy beaches such as Widemouth Bay, Sandymouth, Summerleaze and Crooklets ('Britain’s Bond') are all just a few minutes away. The 'Splash' indoor leisure pool is close by and ideal for early or late season.

The towpath on the historic Bude Canal provides an easy scenic walk and a cycle track on the other side of the valley provides an alternative return route. Click here for more information.

Bude is very near the border with Devon so is within easy reach of Dartmoor and the unique village of Clovelly. Also within a short drive is the world famous Eden Project, and the pretty fishing villages of Boscastle and Port Isaac while a little further down the coast, Padstow is the largest of the north coast harbours

Closer still are numerous other villages worth a visit, such as Morwenstow - the location of the National Trust’s smallest property - Hawker’s Hut!
