BOSCASTLE

This article appears in Volume V04, Page 277 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BLA-BOS
BOSCASTLE , a small seaport and watering-place in the
Launceston
  parliamentary division of
Cornwall
 , England, 5 M. N. of Camelford station on the London &
South
 -Western railway. Pop. (civil parish of Forrabury, 1901) 329. The
village
  rises steeply above a very narrow
cove
  on the north
coast
 , sheltered, but difficult of access, vessels having to be warped into it by means of hawsers. A mound on a hill above the harbour marks the site of a Norman castle. The parish church of St Symphorian, Forrabury, also stands high, overlooking the
Atlantic
  from Willapark Point. The tower is without bells, and the tradition that a ship bearing a peal hither was wrecked within sight of the harbour, and that the lost bells may still be heard to
toll
  beneath the waves, has been made famous by a ballad of the Cornish poet Robert Stephen Hawker,
vicar
  of Moorwinstow. The
coast
  scenery near Boscastle is severely beautiful, with abrupt cliffs fully exposed to the sea, and broken only by a few picturesque inlets such as Crackington
Cove
  and Pentargan Cove. Inland are bare moors, diversified by narrow dales.
