Boscastle is one of North
Cornwall's most famous and picturesque villages, sitting
on the coastline, nestling between high surrounding cliffs
with its little harbour offering protection from the often
violent Atlantic storms.
The inner jetty embraces a small area of
low-tide sand and was rebuilt by Sir Richard Grenville in
1584. |
The outer breakwater was built in the
early 19th century when slate was shipped from
Boscastle.
This construction stood quite successfully
until 1941 when a drifting sea-mine connected with it causing
major damage.
They rebuilt the breakwater in 1962. |

It is with thanks to the National Trust that these small
villages, like so many others, is being protected by the
work of the Trust.
Boscastle must be one of North Cornwall's
most photographed and painted landscapes.
