Peppercombe is a small valley (combe) on the north-western coast of Devon, England. The seaward section of Peppercombe is at the eastern end of the Hobby to Peppercombe biological Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), while the coast section to north-east is part of the Mermaid's Pool to Rowden Gut geological SSSI.

A section of Bude's coast which is located between Compass Cove to the south and Furzey Cove to the north, is a SSSI (Site of Special Scientific Interest) noted for its geological and biological interest.

Dizzard (Cornish: Dyserth, meaning very steep) is between the Atlantic Ocean to the north, the valley and cove of Crackington Haven to the west and the Millook woods and valley to the east. On the coast is Dizzard Point, and the unique, dwarf oak, Dizzard Wood, which is of international importance for its lichen communities.

Boscastle was first inhabited by the Bottreaux family around 1080, and the name of the village comes from Bottreaux Castle (pronounced "Botro"), a 12th-century motte-and-bailey fortress, of which few remains survive.

The village, with its picturesque harbour, is a popular tourist destination. Among the attractions are the Museum of Witchcraft.

Boscastle was once a centre for slate quarrying which remained a viable industry until around the turn of the 20th century. The remains of four quarries scar the cliffs between Boscastle Harbour and Trevalga.

A flash flood on 16 August 2004 caused extensive damage to the village. Residents were trapped in houses as the roads turned into rivers: people were trapped on roofs, in cars, in buildings and on the river's banks. and the village's visitor centre was washed away.

Willapark is a 317 foot high promontory just south of Boscastle on the north coast of Cornwall in South West England. It is the site of an Iron Age hill fort and a small nineteenth century folly, now a coastguard lookout.

There were fifty or so extra photographs of Tinagel that are unfortunately lost.
