Coastal Cornwall - Intelligence base above soaring cliffs near Bude

While those on the South West Coast Path north of Bude in #Cornwall can tune in to the abundance of nature around them, a nearby team of eavesdropping experts is focused on altogether different matters. For inland from Lower Sharpnose Point, south of Stanbury Mouth, is GCHQ (Government Communications Headquarters) Bude with its series of satellite dishes, these being visible for several miles around. The intelligence and security facility has been operating here since the 1970s and has become a familiar sight in the landscape.
