Tips
Valency is a short river with many small tributaries. After passing Lesnewth it cuts a valley before entering the sea at the harbor at Boscastle village. One of its tributaries is the Jordan, which runs 2 kilometers north before joining the Valency just before the B3263 road bridge at Boscastle.
The Valency valley is steep and the sides of the lower section are forested. The valley has flooded many times, most severely in the Boscastle flood of 2004.translated by

Here at the river you can wonderfully let your legs dangle and look at the water. There are cafes in the area for refreshment.
