Formerly a busy fishing harbour, now cared for by the National Trust. Sit on the harbour edge and watch the resident seal play at low tide, or walk around the corner to see and hear the eruptions from the locally infamous Boscastle Blow-hole.
For those with more patience, pods of dolphins can be seen in summer and sightings of sunfish and basking sharks are not uncommon.

Arts & Culture
A wonderfully eclectic museum which houses over 4,000 magical artefacts. There is no other place like this in the world, and even if you aren't convinced by magic it is still fascinating to see the history of witchcraft and learn about those who practice it.
