Bude is a fabulous coastal town that once visited you will want to come back to time and time again.
Bude has something for everyone, great beaches for relaxing, and building sandcastles on, rock pools for investigating at low tide and cafes to watch it all from.
The rolling waves are great for surfing all year round, and the footpaths by the restored canal or on the North Cornwall coastal path offer you a superb opportunity to explore and appreciate the outstanding countryside.
Bude also has a superb golf course, indoor swimming pool, bowling alley/indoor play area and Heritage Centre at Bude Castle.
It also has a good selection of local shops, supermarkets, cafes, pubs, restaurants and excellent Information Centre.
Within a short drive are the remains of a huge iron age hill fort at Warbstow Bury, from where panoramic views can be seen.
For days out, take the coast road north to see the lonely lighthouse above the sea at Hartland Point or walk or ride a donkey down the steep and cobbled village street (no cars allowed) of beautiful Clovelly to the harbour and the pub far below.
Follow the coast in the other direction and there's the little cove of Crackington Haven, Boscastle, King Arthur's castle at Tintagel, Doc Martin's Port Wenn at Port Isaac and yet more great surfing beaches at Polzeath..
