Bude, Cornwall UK
Part of the beach, Bude Cornwall
Great seaside and countryside, Bude and North Cornwall have them both. Bude as a holiday resort is unspoilt and lies within the spectacular  Atlantic Heritage coastline. It has fine, sandy beaches commended for their cleanliness, with lifeguards on duty in the summer, plus an outside swimming pool which is washed by the tide, a favourite with families. Surfers enjoy the Atlantic rollers.
