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.

Bude Canal opened in 1823 to carry sand for agricultural fertiliser to the hilly hinterland in Devon and Cornwall. Its construction cost £118,000, a considerable amount at the time. The canal runs 35 miles (56 km) from Bude to Vinworthy, Blagdon and Druxton. Today, boats can no longer navigate the entire canal as two locks have been replaced by concrete damns. Nonetheless, it remains a pretty canal with abundant wildlife.
