Welcome to the NCI Boscastle Lookout station
NCI Boscastle is a recipient of the Queen's Award for Voluntary Service. The lookout, once a Summerhouse then a coastguard tower, is painted white; the flagstaff usually flies Cornish and NCI flags. The Union flag flies on appropriate occasions. Please note that, due to daylight restrictions, the Station may not open until 0900 during December and January and may close at 1900 during April and September.

Visitor Policy
Visitors are normally most welcome at the lookout although, when an incident is ongoing, this may not always be convenient and the duty watchkeeper may ask visitors to call back later.

Access
Access is through a gate off the South West Coast Path running from Boscastle to Tintagel

Local Hazards
Ponies graze on the headland all year, and cattle graze on the cliffs in the winter months. The ponies are friendly but make sure they know you are there, and do not approach from behind them. The cattle are normally docile, but if there are calves or if you have a dog give keep well clear of them.
