A coastal town in Cornwall, Southwest England, known for its beaches, cliffs, and mining heritage.
The name derives from Cornish 'bod' meaning 'dwelling' or 'place,' combined with a personal name element. Bude developed as a settlement and became famous for mining and later tourism.
Bude is one of those English place names where the Cornish language roots peek through—'bod' appears in dozens of Cornish place names, and studying these helps linguists understand the ancient Celtic language that predates English in Britain!
