The civil parish of Poundstock lies a few miles west of Bude on the north coast of Cornwall, England. It is a largely rural area of rolling farmland, hedged lanes and scattered hamlets, with easy access to the coast around Widemouth Bay and the South West Coast Path, so it’s popular with walkers and people wanting quieter Cornish beaches.
The village is centred on its historic parish church dedicated to St Winwaloe and retains a mix of stone cottages, farmsteads and a small community that keeps a steady programme of local events; the local economy leans on agriculture supplemented by holiday accommodation and coastal tourism. Historic features such as old field patterns and roadside crosses give Poundstock a character that blends agricultural tradition with the benefits of proximity to the sea.
