Bude’s Beautiful Natural Environment and Community Action Are Famous
We depend on our surroundings and the people who look after them for our town’s continued success in tourism, outdoor activities and food production.
However, Bude is under threat from climate change, sea level rise and loss of biodiversity.
Now is the time to work together to protect Bude for everyone so that it remains a destination that people will want to visit for years to come.
We need everyone – locals and visitors alike – to come together to make it happen. By embracing this ethos collectively, we can ensure a positive legacy is left behind.

Walk Bude Time
Slow it down and leave the keys at home
Let’s take it easy and do it ‘dreckly’ so that we have time to savour the fresh ocean breeze. We can explore on foot, bus, or bike at our own pace and taking in the full wonderment of the moment.
Look After Bude
