Twenty years on and we say thank you!

Twenty years ago, torrential rains caused unprecedented flooding, resulting in significant damage to homes, businesses, and the very fabric of our village. In the aftermath, the spirit of Boscastle shone brightly. Neighbours helped neighbours, strangers became friends, and a remarkable sense of unity emerged. We came together to rebuild and renew, showcasing the best of what it means to be part of a close-knit community.

 

 

 

Today, Boscastle stands not just as a picturesque village but as a testament to human strength and cooperation. Our community spirit, tested and proven in the face of adversity, remains a source of immense pride. For the vast majority, Boscastle has been rebuilt with care, preserving the charm and heritage that make Boscastle a unique and special place to live, work, and visit.

 

 

 

Boscastle is more than just its scenic harbour, historic buildings, and breath-taking coastal views. It is a community of warmth and welcome, where the bonds between residents are as strong as the cliffs that guard our shores. Our village thrives on its rich cultural heritage, vibrant local businesses, and a commitment to sustainability and environmental stewardship. As we note this milestone, we invite everyone to visit Boscastle and experience first-hand the unique blend of history, culture, and natural beauty that defines us. Whether you are drawn by our artistic traditions, culinary delights, or the serene landscapes, you will find in Boscastle a place of inspiration and tranquillity.

 

 

 

We extend our deepest gratitude to all who have supported us over the years – from the first responders and volunteers in 2004 to the visitors and new residents who continue to contribute to our community. Your support has been invaluable in our journey of recovery and growth.

 

 

 

Boscastle remains, as ever, a beacon of resilience and a truly special place to call home.”
