If you fancy a holiday on the Cornish coast, you might want to explore Bude. It’s a small seaside town situated next to some great scenery near to the Cornwall-Devon border. Whilst I was there, I used this Bude and Clovelly Ordnance Survey map to find my way around along the coastal path and the local geography. The OS maps are fantastic for exploring new areas if you are walking, cycling… or otherwise holidaying in unfamiliar territory.
I stayed in The Cliff at Bude which is a friendly hotel on, yes you guessed, the cliff top overlooking Crooklets Beach (one of two beaches in Bude). Walks along both beaches are a good way of blowing away the cobwebs of city life. We were lucky to have some sunny September weather during most of the visit which meant that beach walks were definitely a favourite pastime.
Overall
Bude is a nice place to stay. Typical small seaside town but not too over-developed. Great coastal scenery. Surfing is very popular.
