The Boscastle floods in 2004 caused significant environmental damage, including soil erosion, habitat destruction, and pollution of local water bodies. The intense rainfall led to the rapid runoff of debris, which clogged waterways and disrupted ecosystems. Additionally, the flooding washed pollutants and sediments into the river, affecting aquatic life and water quality. Recovery efforts have since aimed to restore the natural environment and mitigate future flood risks.

The repairs after the floods in Boscastle in 2004 cost approximately £4.5 million. The funding for the repairs came from various sources, including government grants, insurance claims, and donations.
