During the Boscastle flood in August 2004, approximately 10,000 liters of water per second were recorded flowing through the village's river system. This extreme volume of water was a result of heavy rainfall that caused the rivers to overflow, leading to significant flooding and damage in the area. The unprecedented rainfall overwhelmed the drainage systems, contributing to the rapid rise in water levels.
Approximately 75 properties were flooded during the Boscastle flood in 2004.
