The Museum of Witchcraft - Boscastle

Well after some 3 years of following the blog and liking the

Facebook page, I finally got to visit the Museum of witchcraft in Boscastle - to be honest this was the mailn reason I wanted to visit the town and as we were nearby I thought it would be rude not to!!

So firstly what does it cost? Well £5 and you will be able to enter and enjoy the exhibits and photography is permitted as long as a flash is not used.

The museum has been in Boscastle since 1960 and has the world's largest collection of witchcraft related artifacts.

Here are a few of the items you will find inside the museum

 Green Man

 Alistair Crowley's Chalice

You can find out more about him by visiting his Wikipeadia entry HERE

Knight's Templar robe

I would really recommend the museum if you are interested in the witchcraft, there is a guide book available  which you can purchase at the museum or you can read the PDF version which is available on their website.

Boscastle - Floods and Fish 'n' Chips

14 miles south of Bude and 5 miles from Tintagel, Boscastle is a lovely town and well worth a visit, devastated on August 16th 2004 when heavy rain caused flash flooding, in the town itself 89mm of rain fell in one hour and the led to the river rising by 2 meters.

Boscastle bounced back and the day we went the river was low and the tide was out, however in nearby businesses the flood water is still marked on the walls

As you can see it was a beautiful day when we visited - lovely and sunny and quite warm, so we decided to brave it and have fish and chips outside

The fish and chips were stunning absolutely beautiful and if you are in the town and fancy the above I heartily recommend the Sails Cafe as the food was amazing.
