Poughill is a small village in north Cornwall, England, a couple of miles east of the seaside town of Bude and close to the historic market town of Stratton. Set among rolling farmland and narrow lanes, it sits within easy reach of the north Cornish coast and the South West Coast Path, making it a handy quiet base for walkers and visitors drawn to the beaches and clifftop scenery.
The village retains a traditional rural character of stone cottages, smallholdings and a modest community; the local economy is largely agricultural with a strong seasonal boost from tourism and holiday lets. Socially it tends to be a mix of long-standing families and newer residents attracted by the pace of life, and the settlement reflects the wider county’s rural history through its lanes, chapels and local customs rather than any heavy industry.
