The Castle Heritage Centre, The Wharf, Bude
www.bude-stratton.gov.uk/... The Castle was built in 1830 by the Cornish inventor Sir Goldsworthy Gurney. Owned by Bude-Stratton Town Council since 1947, the building was completely refurbished in 2007. It now contains a heritage centre, art gallery, restaurant and shop. The Heritage Centre displays take you through Bude s world; its geology and ecology; the influence of the sea, from Bude s rise from humble haven, through trade and industry to tourist resort; and local characters like the Rev. Hawker. There are hands-on inter-actives and a quiz trail for all the family to do. The art gallery has an exciting annual programme showcasing the work of Cornish and West Country artists and craft makers.
