 Boscastle
|
|
| Boscastle,
a dramatic location for the small village in the folds
of high steep cliffs where two rivers, Valency and Jordon meet.
Start walking at the back of the carpark!, the path takes you
along the river.
Boscastle's harbour, with stone hollow jetty, leads
you to a long street that meanders up to woodland.
The small port was used for loading slate from the quarries,
the ships being pulled in by small boats and horses.
A blowhole in the cliff face, Devils
Bellows, shows you the power of water. Dramatic in
winter, busy in summer.
Famous connections include Turner painting the harbour and
Thomas Hardy marrying the vicars daughter.
