Bude-Stratton sits on the north Cornish coast in Cornwall, England, combining the seaside resort of Bude with the older inland market town of Stratton. The parish covers dramatic cliffs, sandy beaches such as Summerleaze Beach and Crooklets, the tidal mouth of the River Neet and the remnants of the historic Bude Canal, so you get a mix of surfing, rock pools and peaceful countryside within a short walk of one another.
Tourism is the mainstay of the local economy, boosted by a Victorian sea pool, coastal walks and a lively summer programme, while farming and small local businesses underpin year-round life. The area also wears its history openly: nearby Stratton was the scene of a notable 1643 battle during the English Civil War and the canal and old limeworking features hint at an industrial past that still shapes the landscape and community identity.
