Winter Beckons
Boscastle is a tiny port with a natural harbour, set in a narrow ravine, and boasts some very attractive cottages. Before the railways, Boscastle was a thriving port, serving much of North Cornwall. It has come to prominence more recently as a result of the terrible floods of summer 2004.
The village was once a favourite haunt of author, Thomas Hardy, and the setting for one of his novels, A Pair of Blue Eyes. It was here that he met his wife, Emma. In fact, the restoration of nearby St Juliot Church was worked upon by Hardy when he was still a practising architect.
