I came back from AI with skool yesterday and I had the time of my life! Everybody (apart from the teacher!) cried when we had to go. Surfing was the best thing to do there. Some of my mates had Jake as a tutor but I had Hutch - the best surfer around!!! And probably the funniest person I have met haha! The beach is fantastic, and the area around Bude. Simply a place to go. I am going to work there when I am older...for definate.
Mark, Widemouth (Bude)
I definatly think Bude is the perfect place. If your on holiday, pay a visit to the Black Rock complex as it's the best place going in the Bude area. With gorgeous views, coastlines and plenty to do, come to my parents 'Black Rock' complex.
A great day.
A wonderfull place to live.
Mark!
John Allen (Bristol)
I have never been to Bude, but I am going the eleventh of this month. Can anyone give me any information about what is around this area, except a beech of course.
Louise from Nottinghamshire
I went on holiday to Bude from the age of 2 - 17 and going back next month with my soon to be fiance to show him round my favourite holiday destination (joint with blackpool!) It will be interesting to see how much is the same (or different) after 8 years - we're both so excited about going!! can't wait! :-)
I always had brilliant holidays there even though we did almost the same things every year, i never got tired of it because it's such a lovely place and even though this year we have no transport we can still go a-wandering and have a walk along the canal (that's only so my man can look for fish!!)
Words cannot explain how much Bude means to me - so many precious memories from my childhood - it will always have a special place in my heart and hope to holiday there many more times in my life and hopefully one day take my children to see this wonderful place that i spent every last week of july through my younger years at.
i will always love Bude.

Mark and Marie from Outside Bude
We live just four miles from Bude and think its a great place to go and meet up with friends. Marie loves the canal for the long walks and rowing trips she takes occasionally.
White Clan. Bude!!
In Australia, for a few years now.. Spend most my life working with horses! And I get paid. Good to keep in touch with the " Home Land " Speak to General most nights via internet. Any one in Aus, come and visit!!!
Doug Dawson USA
I remember Bude during the war as an evacuee fron London Loved the Canal - we would hire a row boat and pretend we were pirates. Also at the top of the locks entering the ocean used to ride the sand collection wheeled buckets down to the beach and run like hell what a ride for a nine year old ??

i have been coming to bude for five years to stay with family there. i love it so much, every half term of holiday i get in school i am on the train straight down there. im the summer it is lovely to. there are loads of places to go on long walks and the beach is a lovely short family area. i would say if your looking for a short little break bude in cornwall is the best place!!!
richie from birmingham

Patricia, Portugal
I went to Bude last Summer (August) and it is a delightful place for holidays and, I dare say, for living! The coastline is absolutely breathtaking and the people are very nice as well. Lovely shops too. I also would like to say that I tried to surf for the first time at summerleaze and, living in such a sunny and full of beach-lovers country like mine, it is quite surprising!
wob in kent

naomi from Rochester
We went to adventure international for a week and i had the best time of my entire life. It offered us such good quality things to do and thanks to it i now love surfing! I will never be able to thank my leader Alan enough and i will never EVER forget RUSTED who i utterly adore! Bude offers you such good quality of stuff.

Mikey Bude
Budes a great palce in the summer, and the lovely drag queen, 'coco' (look further down) makes it all the better, your dreads were good kenny, why'd you get rid of them... never mind ,anyways, the beachs in bude are some of the best i have ever seen, and you gotta love them!
Robert C from Nottingham
I lived in Bude until I was 10 - The beaches are stunning and the coastline is wonderful - The Winter storms and the waves crashing over the Breakwater is an amazing sight.
Tasha,,Erith

Jo D, Laura J, and Kerry T.
We went to the Adventure International thingy at Bude with School. It was great fun, and we had great tutors. Kerry had Jules, Laura had Ben and Jo had Adam (we all agreed that Adam was perfect!)We are definately going to try tp convince our teachers to take us back next year!!!
Jana
Two years ago I have spent three monhts at a place just next to Bude and it is the most beautiful place I have ever seen. I would like to live there once when I will be old. Especially I liked sitting on the beach and looking at the waves.
Hope will move there one day...

Coco In Bude
I Love Bude! Every Bit Of It. But I Dont Like Serving All The Emits (Holiday Makers) In "The Tasty Plaice." Gets Far To Busy In The Summer :)
Angela in Southport
Had my main two week holiday in Bude this Summer, came away with two other families and had a wonderful time. Beaches are fantastic, truly lovely and just amazing - surfing was good kids loved it. Great place to holiday!
Nick From South Wales
I lived in Bude for a year when I was 10 and loved it!
Two weeks ago I decided to go back there with some of my friends, and the place is still as I remembered it, and all of my friends didn't want to leave it when it was time to go home. Bude is a really lush place to visit on holiday or to live!
Stian in Amersham, Bucks
My sister now lives in Bude, and I visit all the time. The three hour drive is no problem when considering what lies ahead. My fondest memory is walking to Summerleaze at dawn to see a lone horse rider on the beach. That's when I decided one day I'll live down there.
Chris in Iraq
I'm currently serving in Iraq and looking at the beautiful pictures of Bude, it makes me homesick! Enjoy the beach, see you in October.
Sarah Bury St Edmunds Suffolk
I really wanted to go abroad this year but instead went to Bude(first time ever) with my family.
I had the best time ever, forget going abroad, Cornwall has the most beautiful coastlines and friendly people. I definitely plan to relocate to cornwall.

Sarah - Warrington
Bude is such a lovely place. We have our main holidays here every year.
Jon Bray
I lived in Bude until i was nine, quite a young age to leave a home. I return at least once every six months to see family and visit the area. I am currently in the RAF and with a Girlfriend in East Anglia, my mileage is high with my commitments to Bude, East Anglia and my work commitment. Bude and the surrounding area makes it all worth while.
Ernie Kovacs
Grew up in Bude and now live and work in Vancouver, Canada. It's nice to see such a lovely site with great fond memories and mates who still live there.
Mick T from Southend on Sea
Spent the first 10 years of my life at Bude. Had some really great friends. Bude is a really wondeful place, lots of fond memories of long walks over the downs and the surfing on Crooklets beach.
Plans to revisit very soon.
Wendy from Barking Essex
Originally from Kent, I moved to Bude in 1987.A wonderful place,full of character.
On Summerleaze beach there is a large outdoor swimming pool,in my lunch hour I would cycle down and have a swim,it was fantastic.A holiday everyday.
In the Carriers pub I met my husband to be,he was on holiday from Essex.I moved to Essex in Aug 1989.I really miss Cornwall,maybe one day we can all move there.It really is the place to be right beside the sea.....
Laura in Surrey
Bude is such a beautiful town, i love it so much and the beaches are fantastic. I cannot wait to move there one day
