3About Boscastle
Boscastle occupies a spectacular valley where the River Valency cuts through towering cliffs to reach the sea. Reach it via the B3263 from the A39, with the approach from Camelford offering the most straightforward route for visitors. The village provides excellent EV charging facilities, with over 20 fast chargers nearby. The harbour remains one of Cornwall's most dramatic sights, squeezed between slate cliffs through a channel so narrow that boats must navigate it with extreme care.
