Well, as a denizen of Bude (or, more accurately just outside), I can heartily endorse the above post. The coastal walking is somewhat gentler (and less muddy in wet weather) than the sterner cliffs to the north and south, though no less wonderful on the eye, and we also have Bude Canal, replete with history and as picturesque as a canal can be (and with wonderful paths these days). Bude caters well for visitors though, thankfully, it is nowhere near as developed as the fleshpots of Newquay and its ilk. I will take issue with one point in your poem: there is no limestone anywhere near Bude. Lime-rich shell-sand we have in abundance, but you will search in vain for the rock.
