3. Two small seawalls let you know you’ve arrived in the harbor that leads ashore to Boscastle, a village on the Cornwall coast of England. The stone seawalls were commissioned in 1584 by Sir Richard Grenville, a British naval hero. They’ve survived the centuries and even a major flood in the summer of 2004. The village itself has bounced back from the floods, returning to its status as a hidden gem of Cornwall tourism. Boscastle boasts the sort of “untouched by time” features that charm many visitors, and offers a quiet, leisurely life for those who choose to stay. These seawalls were built by a British naval hero. How do we define who a hero is?
