If you’ve always dreamt of staying in a proper old fisherman’s cottage and falling asleep to the sound of the sea, choose a holiday in Boscastle, and we promise you’ll fall in love with this tiny fishing village.
Set in a steep, narrow ravine between Tintagel and Crackington Haven in North Cornwall, little has changed here over the years and Boscastle remains beautifully unspoilt. Pretty stone houses with wonky rooftops and white-washed cottages cling to the banks of the River Valency as it winds down to a sheltered natural harbour and medieval stone quay.
Holidays in Boscastle are idyllic, perfect for romantic getaways. Soak up stunning sea views, indulge in cream teas and real Cornish ale at the handful of cafes and pubs and browse the selection of shops, potteries and galleries. There’s even a quirky museum of witchcraft and magic!
Aside from the picture-perfect old buildings, the main draw to Boscastle is the stunning coastal scenery. Pack a picnic and walk along the South West Coast Path, passing Boscastle’s blowhole and up onto the headlands. From here, you can walk all the way to Tintagel, with a well-deserved break at Bossiney Cove, whilst being treated to spectacular scenery and never-ending sea views.
You can also follow in the footsteps of famous novelist Thomas Hardy by walking through the wooded valley to St Juliot’s church. Hardy worked as an architect during the renovation of the church, when he met, and fell in love, with his wife Emma. Unsurprisingly, the romance inspired many of his most famous novels and poems.
From Boscatle, you can enjoy some of Cornwall’s most magical days out. Visit the dramatic cliff top ruins of Tintagel Castle, the legendary birthplace of King Arthur, and marvel at the 60ft waterfall of St Nectan’s Glen. Watch surfers riding the huge Atlantic waves at Trebarwith Strand, or don a wetsuit and join a lesson with Trebarwith Surf School to give it a go yourself. To top it all off, grab a bottle of wine and some reusable cups and follow the coast path to the impressive geological peephole, the Lady’s Window, then sit down and watch the sunset - it’s sure to be the highlight of your Boscastle holiday.
Parking space for 2 small cars or one big car.

Worst fish and chips that I have ever eaten well tried to eat the chips are all hard like scraps and the cod was really soft batter and floating in grease had a bad experience a year ago here so thought would give it the benefit of doubt in case it was a one off but unfortunately it wasn’t last time I ever use here if you require lovely fish and chips go to tigtagel.

Museum of Witchcraft
(Less than a mile)
(2)
A magic experience to enjoy while you’re on holiday in Cornwall, the Museum of Witchcraft is in the village of Boscastle and was the creation of Cecil Williams whose fascination with the subject started in childhood. He set up the Cornish museum in 1960, saying it was three miles from a prehistoric maze stone carved into a living rock face, ‘proof that from ancient times man and his magic making with the world of spirit were active in this area’. Today you can visit to explore the collections or enjoy seasonal events such as candlelit evenings and Halloween at the museum.
Only visited once years ago as it doesn’t appear to open in the winter months.

Fantastic!!!. Absolutely outstanding views
September 2021
Brilliant place to visit with so much history. It is a very steep walk down which you do not get told, we always took a short cut across the first bridge on your left that you will come to this will take you on to the church path which is fantastic this is a must to see the door is left open for tourist there are little booklets telling you all a bout it for a small fee in a donation box. If you want the Tintagel Castle head to the right of the opening. If you feel You can not walk to far catch the Land Rover's that only cost a couple of pounds you will find them on the top of the hill next to Wootans Pub. If you want to know more about the castle buy the book in the shop before you entre, it will talk you through step by step on where you are in the Castle and what sort of age the ruins are. Don't forget to check high times to visit Merlins Cave. Last thing for me to say is you will not be dissapointed
September 2021
Great place to visit and take it all in...
August 2021
Much as we would have liked to try out the new bridge, we felt £16 each was a bit steep for the privilege and got a good enough view from the grounds of the big hotel above.

Bossiney Cove Beach
(3 miles)
(3)
Just a mile along the road from Tintagel lies Bossiney Cove, a beautiful hidden gem which is completely covered at high tide. Access to the beach is via a footpath over some farmland and then by steep steps down to the small sandy beach. At the right hand side of the cove there is a great cave to explore that is 60 feet high at the entrance, also see if you can spot the elephant rock hidden in the cliff face! This beach is dog friendly all year and parking can be found in a nearby layby at the top.
It’s closed off because of a rock fall. It would have been good to know this in advance.
June 2021

Strangles Beach
(4 miles)
Tintagel Beach
(4 miles)
In the shadow of Tintagel Castle, Tintagel Beach is small and often overlooked, barely accessible via a scrabble down the cliff path. To the north of the beach there’s a waterfall and to the south is Merlin's Cave, a 300ft long tunnel passing under Tintagel Island and castle that’s only accessible at low tide. Dogs are allowed on the beach all year round, and the beauty of the place is its remoteness – just you, the beach and the sea, so there aren’t any facilities nearby basically.
Crackington Haven
(5 miles)
(5)
At the end of a narrow valley, surrounded by towering cliffs, backing into the village of Crackington, Crackington Haven Beach offers shelter from the elements but only by comparison to the exposed coastline. The beach is all rocks and shingle, and has a seasonal ban on dogs from Easter to October. There’s parking at the beach, so remember to take cash for pay and display, and there are two cafes, a pub, surf hire and toilet facilities close by. There’s also lifeguard cover in the height of summer.
Lovely location on a sunny day.

Trebarwith Strand
(5 miles)
(6)
Two miles from Tintagel, Trebarwith Strand Beach on the north Coast of Cornwall is easily accessible and is owned by the National Trust. A long stretch of sand, it’s backed by flat rocks and steep cliffs, but check the tides before you visit because people often get cut off in the summer months. Once there, there are caves to explore and rock pools containing a wealth of sea life. It’s been the setting for a number of films in its time, but these days it’s all about swimming (when lifeguards are on duty between May and September) and exploring. Dogs are allowed on the beach all year round, and there are two car parks – the main one is a bit of a walk away, and a smaller one is closer to the beach. There’s also a handful of roadside parking spaces.
Great beach, you will need to check the tide times though The Port William is a good pub overlooking the beach with great views, there is also a small cafe
September 2023
Beautiful rocky cove at the where you arrive. You have to come close to low tide to explore beyond.
April 2023
This is a fabulous beach with a nice cafe, a pub and shop and toilet facilities. You need a book of the tide times so that you can make the most of your visit here.
August 2022
Our favourite beach if you can work round the tide times!
August 2022
Beautiful clean beach, pleased that it is a dog friendly one.
July 2022
Another great place to run the dog when the tide is out. Took excellent photos here at sunset. Coast path walk from here to Tintagel is relatively easy going with great views.

This is a fabulous beach with a nice cafe, a pub and shop and toilet facilities. You need a book of the tide times so that you can make the most of your visit here.

Our favourite beach if you can work round the tide times!

Beautiful clean beach, pleased that it is a dog friendly one.

Another great place to run the dog when the tide is out. Took excellent photos here at sunset. Coast path walk from here to Tintagel is relatively easy going with great views.
