Nice to see that Boscastle is all but rebuilt following the 2004 flood.

Sorry about shitty quality picture. I left my memory card behind and
used a Boots throwaway
camera. (These things are best thrown away before use.)

Apart from the astounding scenery, the ONLY premises worth visiting at
Boscastle is the Museum of Witchcraft. The local shops are simply scam
outlets for absolute shite tat. There are sticks of "Cornish rock"
made in Birmingham and Dorset, with what is being passed off as
"Boscastle souvenirs" made in China, loads of the usual Taiwanese
junk and shoddy clothing From all over Asia.

If you do go to Boscastle don't buy any of the tat and hopefully the
scammers selling the shit will
go out of business!

The museum rebuild is almost complete with hardly any of the exhibits
lost in the flood. It also has
many new exhibits and artworks.

The museum has the most concentrated collection of Witchcraft
paraphernalia in the world.

Well worth a visit but as I say watch out for the local scammers.

Rubbish. Do you actually know the place?

Boscastle has much to recommend it, starting with The Cobweb.

Quite, but it was a very sad day when the Carpenters Tea Rooms closed, happy
memories of those home made cakes, hot cross buns etc., must have been
amongst the best Tea Rooms in the Country. Has Valency Valley recovered?

Ah yes, she's the one who delivers the "having a nice time in
Boscastle" postcards from their printers in London.
