Boscastle is found where two valleys meet, formed by the rivers Valency and Jordan. A third river, Paradise, also flows through the village.
the river Valency burst its banks, no other main one. :)
Approximately 75 properties were flooded during the Boscastle flood in 2004.
16 August 2004 and 21 June 2007.
The Boscastle flood of 1963 was a result of a combination of factors such as heavy rainfall over a short period of time, a saturated ground from previous rain, and the steep topography of the area that enhanced the runoff into the Valency River. These factors led to a rapid increase in water levels, causing the river to burst its banks and resulting in widespread flooding in the village.
