Situated on the Cornish coast, Boscastle's typical fishermen cottages are now sought-after holiday lettings. Enjoy freshly caught seafood prepared in your own kitchen or stroll along the coast through this Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
Iconic pasties and tasty fish dishes
No holiday is long enough to sample all the different types of Cornish pasty. Whereas the most typical variety is short-cut pastry filled with beef and vegetables, many other fillings, such as Tikka Masala, cheese, or even all vegetarian are on offer.
The most famous fish dish is perhaps stargazey pie, where fish heads protrude through the pastry crust, looking skywards as though stargazing. Sardines and pilchards are the fish most frequently used, along with a filling of potatoes and eggs.
Witchcraft and more magic
The little town of Boscastle hosts what may be the oldest and largest collection of magical items in Great Britain, if not the whole world, at the Museum of Witchcraft and Magic. Temporary and permanent exhibitions illustrate the history of witchcraft and give visitors glimpses into the forbidden world of the occult.
Visit King Arthur's birthplace or hike the coast
Cornwall has been connected to the legend of King Arthur and his knights of the round table since the very beginning. Nearby Tintagel is said to have been his birthplace, and at least one version of the Tristan and Iseult legend places the unhappy lovers in Cornwall.
The South West Coast Path, which passes directly through Boscastle, can be used to explore the stunning Cornish coast directly from your Boscastle cottage on easy day trips. This part of the coast has been declared an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and hiking through it will truly take your breath away.
