In the vicinity of Bude
Whilst Bude offers an extensive
range of activities to keep all manner of visitors happy,
there are numerous attractions just a stone's throw from
the sprawling golden beaches...
Clovelly
A tiny, secluded fishing village on the North Devon coast, Clovelly has become famous for its extremely
steep, vehicle-free cobbled main street.
Looking out over the Bristol Channel, surrounding thick woods
render the climate so mild that even the tenderest of plants flourish.
Tintagel Castle
With its spectacular location on Cornwall’s dramatic and windswept Atlantic coastline,
Tintagel is a place of magic and myth where the legend of King Arthur was born.
This historic spot, now in ruins and perhaps Cornwall's most iconic site, is rich in flora and fauna and provides a breeding
ground for sea birds, lizards and butterflies.
Eden Project
The Eden Project in Cornwall showcases 100,000 plants from around the world in giant transparent domes,
each recreating different climate conditions. More than simply a green theme park, the Eden Project
demonstrates the need for environmental care to create a sustainable future on our own.
Dartmoor National Park
The largest and wildest expanse of open country in southern England, Dartmoor National Park covers an area of
368 square miles, over which half is open moorland. Throughout the year, Dartmoor is an exceptionally beautiful
place to visit, with deep wooded gorges, beautiful lake-like reservoirs and tumbling rocky rivers.
Padstow
As a working harbour nestling on the spectacular Camel Estuary, Padstow offers a rich variety of pleasures.
Surrounded by pastel-washed medievel houses, the harbour provides its own rewards whilst Rick Stein
heads up a medley of high quality eateries serving everything from Fish and Chips to Fruits de Mer.
