Boscastle is located in northern Cornwall nearby to Tintagel. I stayed at The Wellington Hotel. Great rooms, food and beer. You can also park for free if you’re lucky to find empty space at the hotel. In Boscastle you can relax and walk down the the harbour and even go for a swim. During the day you can visit the museum and witchcraft and magic, very strange and unique. 🧙 At sunset you can walk along the west coast path to find the best spot 🌅 📷
