Museum of Witchcraft
The Museum of Witchcraft is located in Boscastle, on the north bank of the river, close to the harbour. It's just past the Visitor's Centre and before the Harbour Light café. The museum, established in Boscastle in 1960, is the largest of its kind in the world. It was badly damaged by the 2004 flood but has since been fully restored.
More recently, a staff from the witchcraft museum was stolen. The owners announced on social media that they had placed a curse on it. It was later discovered on the doorstep in a brown paper bag with the message "make the nightmares stop".
