Bude – visit by train & bus

Head to Bude in North Cornwall for glorious beaches, coastal walks, the famous Sea Pool and lots more.

It’s easy to visit by train and bus. Take the Dartmoor Line from Exeter to Okehampton in just 40 minutes, then the bus to Bude is right outside the railway station.

Places to explore

In our video, we visited Summerleaze beach, the South West Coast Path, the Castle Heritage Centre, Bude canal and the famous Sea Pool, dating back to 1930. We also explored the shops, including Kernow Fleece, and had a great lunch alongside the canal at Olive Tree.
