Kilkhampton Christian Fellowship

A modest stone church sits in the village of Kilkhampton, just inland from Bude, serving as a quiet focal point for this corner of North Cornwall. The building itself is worth a brief look if you're passing through - it's the sort of place that rewards a five-minute wander around the churchyard, where you'll find old headstones and get a genuine sense of how the community has anchored itself here over centuries.

This isn't a destination you'd drive an hour to reach. It's the kind of stop that makes sense if you're exploring the villages around Bude, or if you're the type who enjoys poking into local churches as you travel. History buffs might find the architecture interesting, but it's fairly straightforward rather than elaborate. Families with young children won't find much to hold attention beyond a few minutes.

If you're camping at Atlantic Horizons or Wooda Farm - both cracking parks just down the road - you could easily incorporate the church into a morning walk around the village. The surrounding countryside is the real draw here: gentle walks, quiet lanes, and the sense of rural Cornwall before you hit the busier coastal spots. Admission is almost certainly free, as is typical for working parish churches, though opening hours aren't advertised, so check locally before you visit. Best to go during daylight if you want to explore the churchyard properly.
