Bude and the surrounding area is home to some fantastic places to eat. We love Elements! It overlooks Summerleaze Beach serves lovely coffee and has a super restaurant. The really nice thing is you can sit on the veranda (or inside if you prefer) and have a great view of the beach and the coast beyond. It’s easy to while away an afternoon like this. We know. We do it regularly!

Arts & Culture
The Castle in Bude positioned overlooking Summerleaze Beach was built in 1830 by Cornwall’s forgotten genius, Sir Goldsworthy Gurney, The Castle is Grade II listed and was a pioneering construction, built on sand using a concrete raft foundation - the very first of its kind. There you can find out all about Bude and the fascinating story of how the town grew up and the canal was developed. An outstanding event in local history is undoubtedly the Battle of Stamford Hill. At The Castle, you can meet the Cornish Giant, Anthony Payne of Stratton – a Royalist hero in the English Civil War!

Sightseeing
You can combine walks and sightseeing with ease. Compass Point on the headland overlooking Summerleaze Beach is a great place to start. The Storm Tower (or The Pepper Pot), was used as a refuge by coastguards in the mid 19th century. The octagonal tower, with the points of the compass carved as a frieze, was moved further inland in around 1900 due to cliff erosion, but unfortunately seven degrees out of alignment!
