If you're out and about, try Gorran Haven and fish from the harbour wall for Bass, Pollack and Mackerel. Make sure the tide is in, times are published on tinternet.
There is a newly refurbished pub, a shop which makes it's own bread and pasties, fish and chip shop and a small shop which sometimes sells bait. Best take some with you.

It's a nice place to sit and watch the world go by.
What more could you ask for  Another member of the failed FL2 clutch/DMF club, twice.

I don't know your likes/dislikes but a nice place to visit is 'The Lost Gardens of Heligan', quite close to 'Gorran Haven' as well.
Give it a search on Google

Come along and say "Hi". Great surfing beach, ice creams and pasties! Ours - 2008 Stornoway Grey HSE Auto

I have been told by my brother that it sure is, a photo of me about 10 years old pushing my TB afflicted brother in a whicker basket shaped like a coffin on wheels around Perranporth
Of course the TB hospital/convalescent home is no more and the museum shows it as part of Perranporths history. God, I feel old

Bude is really nice. Have a good time.
If you need a break/tea/cake etc on the way I am just off Junction 26 of the M5 - you would be welcome. John

Recommend Padstow for Rick Stein's Fish & Chips but park in the car park at the top of the town on your way in, not down by the harbour as it will be a nightmare in August. Then carry on round to Trevone Bay which is just along the coast for a really nice beach. If you have the time, pop down to St Ives but its a bit of a trog from Bude, park in the car park by the leisure centre and walk from there. Best beach I've ever been on is Bedruthan Steps which is awesome. Eden Project also worth a visit.

thanks guys we allways stop off at the asda wallmart at cribbs causeway get a good breakfast there and you dont get rippedoff with paying silly prices padstow jst thank you for the very much for the very kind offer jst but i will not be able to this time as there is a few of us traveling down south  rainy-city

You might want to visit the Eden Project while you are down there (close to the Lost gardens of Heligan)
Very cool place indeed. Cheers,

If you have ever watched Doc Martin and liked it you could visit Port Isaac where it is filmed. Nice place to visit. Its about 20 miles ish from bude.

Not sure how close you'll be but have a trip to Boscastle, nice natrual harbour there were you can walk out to the the end on the right and sit watching life pass by (last time i was watching a basking shark)

I was stopping at Trwethett Farm Caravan Site, so was close by, but the sun setting in to the sea is a great memory, but then that was when we had a summer

Just further down the road towards Tintagel is a great cornish pasty shop, right down at the end of the road on the right

With all this rain just be careful where you sit and park your car in Boscastle
Don't forget 'Clovelly' (just north of Bude and officially in Devon), the steepest access into a village in the South West, walking only and donkeys are available in the summer

It was the same year I was at Boscastle, glorious weather in the high 30's and then later that year it was on the news with the flood, apparently there is still some cars washed out to sea that were never found

Visited since, nice but wasn't the same feel to the place as there was lots of things rebuilt and changed

As for St Ives, that was mentioned earlier, if you like sharing your food with a seagull, enjoy your day there

My wife got a bust lip when one swoop down to nick her pizza slice, landed not so far away from me and tried to neck it, so i booted it like a football on a penalty spot, only for it to land, and fly off with the pizza, Hard B'stards them seaguls
