Bude has been a thriving seaside resort town since Victorian times, and has built a strong reputation as a holiday destination due to beautiful, award winning beaches, the famous Bude Sea Pool, rugged cliffs, wide open spaces and stunning coastal landscapes. We’re now striving to become a sustainable destination.
The Bude Way: Five positive choices to keep Bude special
Visit our Sustainability PortalLive Bude
Keeping it local to our community Let’s support local suppliers and explore local destinations. It’s good for our pockets and our planet, it protects local jobs, cuts wasteful travel and it tastes so much better.
Look after Bude
Leaving nothing behind – preserve its beauty. Let’s pick up after ourselves and our pets. Let’s use water and energy carefully. Let’s recycle, reuse and reduce to keep Bude special for future generations.
Walk Bude time
Slowing it down by leaving the keys at home. Let’s kick back and do it 'dreckly’ so we enjoy the fresh taste of clean ocean air. Let’s explore by foot, bus or cycle. Let’s wander slowly and carefully.
Hold Bude close
Encouraging nature and nurturing our land. Let’s respect our environment, protect our wildlife and look after our beautiful beaches because without them there’s nothing to look after us.
Let's do this together
Talking and sharing what we learn and do. Let’s be in this together and spread The Bude Way with friends and family, whether we live, work or play here. Join us, talk with us and take The Bude Way home with you.
