Accommodation in Bude

A resort that dates from Victorian times with many buildings of that period. It boasts its own eco-climate with low rainfall and high sunshine hours. Its main attractions are its extensive sandy beaches continually being pounded by large Atlantic rollers. Just as popular these days are long cliff walks which are described as some of the most spectacular in the world. The two main beaches, ‘Summerleaze’ and ‘Crooklets’, have been described by Australian surfers as the ‘Bondi of Britain’. Both are patrolled by lifeguards during the summer months, they are consistently checked and commended for their cleanliness. There is a salt-water bathing pool on Summerleaze which is a safe haven for children to play. To supplement Bude’s natural attractions it provides excellent shopping facilities, restaurants, tea rooms, pubs, a large heated indoor pool with flume, wave machine and cafe, a laser dome, trampolines, putting, floodlit tennis courts, discos, numerous fetes and events. This includes carnival week and an internationally renowned 8 day jazz festival.Bude Canal: Built in 1823 to carry beach sand to use as a fertiliser 20 miles inland to Launceston and for distributing local produce. It is now used for boating and fishing but its wetland route is rich in wildlife and plant species. It is a habitat for foxes and deer, although very numerous are rarely seen. Squirrels, rabbits and small rodents are less shy and often seen. Neighbouring Stratton dates back to Roman times, but it is as the stronghold of King Charles and the bloody battle of 1643 at Stamford Hill that it is best known.

Local places of interest:

Widemouth Bay: In an area of outstanding natural beauty its long sandy beach is ideal for surfing and a paradise for children playing in the numerous rock pools. There is a large car park directly on the beach with cafe and toilets.

Launcells: Just three miles from Bude. The church of St. Swithin is worth exploring. It is the resting place of Sir Goldsworthy Gurney. Also close to the Church is the Well of St Swithin.

Morwenstow: The church is interesting with much of the original Norman building still remaining.

Week St. Mary: Its history dates from the Domesday when it was probably a religious centre.

St Gennys: A picturesque little village on the side of a cliff above the small seaside resort of Crackington Haven. The churchyard is so steep that its path is almost level with the roof. Most of the church is as it was in Norman times.

Poughill: Winner of the best kept village on a number of occasions. The church of St Olaf is well worth a visit.
