Boscastle is one of North Cornwall's most famous villages, sitting on the coastline, nestling between high surrounding cliffs with its little harbour offering protection from the often violent Atlantic storms. The inner jetty embraces a small area of low-tide sand and was rebuilt by Sir Richard Grenville in 1584; he was captain of the Revenge and died fighting the Spanish. The outer breakwater was built in the early 19th century when slate was shipped from Boscastle. This construction stood quite successfully until 1941 when a drifting sea-mine connected with it causing major damage. It is with thanks to the National Trust that this small villages, like so many others, is being protected by the work of the Trust. They rebuilt the breakwater in 1962. The village must be one of North Cornwall's most photographed and painted landscapes.
