Of course, we need hardly mention the stunning selection of Cornish beaches within a few miles of Budds Barns, while for leisurely walking, the Bude Canal is hard to beat... and all topped off with some delicious Cornish ice cream!
And of course Bude is one of the most popular surfing destinations in the country. If you want to learn to ride the waves we really recommend our friends at Freewave Surf Academy who operate in and around Widemouth Bay just 5 minutes down the road from us
In fact we're happy to say that all our recommendations are a result of many years as visitors to, and then residents of, this fantastic part of Cornwall.
Our local tourism website has great information about things to see and do, but below are some of our favourites:
Bude Leisure Centre, Gym and Swimming Pool
The Rebel Cinema (our own village cinema just 5 minutes drive away)
Tamar Otter and Wildlife Centre
Events
Bude and Stratton Folk Festival
Find more events on the Visit Bude website.
