Discover Widemouth Bay this Summer
A holiday in Widemouth gives you easy access to many great Cornish sites including some that are right on the doorstep such as Poundstock with its violent and dramatic history, 14th Century church and Tudor Guildhouse, the only one of its type in the county. Widemouth itself has an interesting church, diminutive in size but large in character, the tiny church was built in 1929 and is definitely worth seeking out.
Have you got the Bude bug?
The perfect antidote to the Bude Bug is to purchase your own little piece. A home from home to escape to whenever you feel like it, a coastal retreat to help you escape the stresses and strains of day to day life. Often people discount a second home as an unachievable expense but a luxury static caravan or holiday lodge offers the perfect solution.
Beach goods hire at Summerleaze
There's no need to carry everything to the beach (or buy an item you will only use a couple of times)! The Summerleaze Beach Office offer a hire facility for Bude's visitors. Bodyboards, deckchairs, folding chairs, Captain's chairs and windbreaks.
