    Tips

    A short distance from Bude is Compass Point, also known as the Storm Tower or Tower of the Winds. It sits in a precarious position on the rapidly eroding cliff edge. Built in the 1830s, in 1881 it was moved inland to save it from falling into the sea. It is now facing a similar predicament. Plans are being made to once again move the tower, brick by brick, to safer ground.
