Bude is a beautiful coastal town in the north of Cornwall, offering a welcoming community with a laid back, yet vibrant charm. It is surrounded by glorious scenery.

There are plenty of places to eat and drink, as well as plenty of activities from sports centre and stately homes to fishing, cycling and water sports.
Bude Surf Life Saving Club was the first to be formed in the country in 1953, and the main beaches have professional RNLI Lifeguard cover at various times throughout the year.

Walking routes are abundant in this area, and Bude is part of the amazing South West Coast Path which offers some excellent walking routes for either a short stroll or a more challenging hike.

Walks along this part of the coast path will enable you to encounter spectacular sea views. Take a picnic and watch the boats and kayaks on the canal – or why not hire one yourself and take your picnic upstream? Bude Canal runs through the centre of the Bude, to the sea lock at Summerleaze beach.
