Getting Around

Bude is located in north Cornwall right on the coast. It provides easy access to Devon and Cornwall. The main route into and through Bude is the A39 or better known as The Atlantic Highway. There is also another route in from the North which is much more scenic route and takes you along the coastline, however, this is a longer route and is in places quite narrow, but well worth it if you have the time.
