Absolutely! Its The river Neet, it flows into Bude and under Nanny Moore's Bridge to the sea!
The path we walked along (when you cross the bridge by the rugby Club first) goes between the River Neet and Bude canal, an unusual canal with lock gates that open into the sea. This passes in front of The Brasserie and was empty during the festival due to a storm partially ripping the lock gate off on one side. They decided to bring forward the dredging planned for next year forward to avoid draining it twice. Next year it should be returned tom its former glory. Bude has 2 beaches, Summerleaze, which is where the River Neet and the canal open into and further down, Crooklets beach.
Cheers Lucy.
