We are delighted and proud that Bude has regained its title as ‘The Best UK Seaside Town’ in the 2018 British Travel Awards. That makes it three times in the last four years we’ve won the Award! Proof, if you needed it, that Bude is indeed the best place to take your holiday!
They say a picture paints a thousand words so scroll down this large collection of photos to see what is so special about Bude, not just in the summer months, but all year round. If you’re still not convinced, there are more here – or these, taken on Lifeboat Day.
