Another great part of experiencing classic English country towns is going out and traveling and touring through Bude, Cornwall. Sitting on the very topside at the mouth of the Cornwall peninsula, the seaside resort of Bude is a small, quaint town of approximately 9,000 people. It started its life as a harbor town, naturally enough, only later changing to the role it now plays today in Cornwall’s tourist industry.Bude has an interesting history, which included its popular use as a source of sea sand that was collected and then used to stabilize and improve various English moors. In the Victorian Era, it became a well-known stopover, and then a seaside holiday destination for most of the 20th century.The coastal scenery in the Bude area is impressive, indeed. In the 1800s, it was well-known to mariners, who were advised to steer well-clear of it treacherous reefs, which were responsible for causing the foundering of many ships. Geologically, there are cliffs in the region that are estimated to be at least 300 million years old.Bude today, is an attractive town which boasts two wide, sandy beaches that lie close to the town itself. Because of the direction in which the beaches lay (to the west) Atlantic ocean wave action is vigorous enough to attract surfers, which is a site one wouldn’t normally see in an English coastal town.Examples of early English architecture exist in and around the town, with a prime example being that of Saint Olaf’s parish church. Tourism is the main industry nowadays, with Bude Canal and its wharf being an attractive picture-taking opportunity.Cornwall itself is a notable peninsula and county of England in the United Kingdom. It has a population of around 530,000 people, and is one of the six original Celtic nations, which reach back into antiquity. Bude and the surrounding area are sure to please the desire of any tourist for picturesque seaside villages in the English countryside.
