Bude Sea Lock, located on the north coast of Cornwall, is a remarkable engineering feature and a rare surviving example of a sea lock that connects directly to the ocean. Built in the 1820s as part of the Bude Canal, it allowed sea-going vessels to access the inland waterway, playing a vital role in transporting goods like sand and limestone. Today, it remains a functional and fascinating part of Bude’s maritime heritage, offering visitors a glimpse into the town’s industrious past while enjoying scenic views of the canal, beach, and surrounding cliffs.
