Our local area

Nestled in the rolling hills above the picture-perfect harbour town of Boscastle,  Polrunny Farm is located in an area of outstanding natural beauty. 

To get to Boscastle from Polrunny Farm, you will either stroll or take a short drive down our quiet, steep country lane. Walking past the charming and welcoming Napoleon Inn and a variety of higgledy-piggledy, old worldly cottages, you will reach the head of the Valency valley and our beautiful village and harbour.

Boscastle

Badly damaged by a flash flood in 2004, the properties that surround the harbour have been lovingly rebuilt in the years since. As well as the fine pubs, cafes and restaurants, the art gallery, the pottery and the Museum of Witchcraft and Magic are all worth a visit.
