The real Frenchman's Creek can be reached by a footpath from the village centre. Author Daphne Du Maurier spent her honeymoon here and was inspired by the village's history as a haven for smugglers to write her novel Frenchman's Creek. This pretty little village lies on the east coast of the Lizard Peninsula and faces Helford Passage across the mouth of the Helford River. Hardy, of course, became one of England's best-loved novelists. Just inland of Boscastle is the Valency Valley, where an aspiring young architect named Thomas Hardy met his first wife Emma. Here you can see everything from broomsticks to potions, spell books to crustal balls and divination tools.Ī trail leads along the rocky coastline to the hanging valley of Pentargon, where a dramatic waterfall plunges almost straight down the sheer cliffs. Nestled into the cliff beside the harbour is the Museum of Witchcraft and Magic, covering all forms of witchcraft in cultures across the world. Beyond Willapark are the remains of an ancient field system known as the Forraburry Stitches. Trails lead up from the harbour to an Iron Age promontory fort and the Willapark headland where you will see a coastal lookout tower made from a castellated folly. This picturesque village on Cornwall's north coast is known for its Elizabethan quay, built to handle the transport of slate from the Delabole quarries.
