Bude Canal

Bude has to be one of my favourite Cornish towns to visit. When ever I get the chance to visit I jump on the bus from Plymouth. It takes two hours with a quick change of bus at Launceston. I normally sleep at the local pub on the canal. There is plenty to see and do with lots of places to eat.

On a sunny day it's perfect. Watch the ducks, walk along the canal, have a coffee and cake. People watch at the beach, the options are endless

What a lovely place to visit. All flat and easy to walk along. Parking at both ends of the canal, places to sit and rest along the way. Unspoiled walk with nature- ducks and ducklings, sheep, cows and geese to watch. There is a bird watching shelter to sit in at the bude town end too. Canoes/ peddle boats go past you.

Starting opposite the Falcon (near The Olive Tree café) take a nice stroll along the canal path. It's a pretty environment, you can feel close(r) to nature, it's very relaxing and the further you go the less people you see. About 1.4 miles along you get to the Weir Café. Lunch, tea or just a cool drink in the sunshine. There's even a play area for children.

Great walk , little bit of green belt untouched , benches well laid out on this total chilled walk and if you want a bit more of a challenging walk head out to the coast on the walk ways and walk the coastal route back into bude.
