Bude Sea Pool
leisureOne of only two tidal sea pools remaining on the north Cornish coast, Bude's great saltwater pool was built in the 1930s and remains one of the finest outdoor swimming experiences in Britain. Fed by Atlantic waves at high tide and warming gently through the day, it offers a swimming experience that combines the freshness of the ocean with the containment of a pool.

Bude Castle Heritage Centre
historicBude's eccentric 'castle' — actually a regency villa built on sand by the eccentric inventor Sir Goldsworthy Gurney — now houses a local heritage centre that is far more engaging than its modest exterior suggests. Gurney's story alone — he built one of the first steam-powered road vehicles, invented a new form of stage lighting, and installed the first central heating in the Houses of Parliament — is worth the visit.
