Urchins Bear Shop

None

Type: Speciality Shop

The main entrance to the shop is via the large south facing courtyard to the rear of the building.

We are open seven days a week throughout the year, however our daily opening hours vary slightly according to the season and the weather!

Teddy Bears Galore……… That’s what you will find when you enter the Old Mill, with literally hundreds of the most popular Teddy Bears from the leading manufactures available from stock. With so many gorgeous bears on offer from so many top brand manufactures it is often difficult to select a favourite, but at Urchins we know just how important a decision it really is for the bears to select their future companions and we are happy for both parties to take a little extra time to get acquainted. Here at The Old Mill we do our utmost to offer a relaxing and thoroughly enjoyable experience, we have a delightful cafe where you can relax and muse and peruse over the latest bear catalogues with a good selection of freshly ground coffee and a range of fine teas...try our Cornish Clotted Cream tea or freshly baked treacle tart & cream...yummy!

We stock all the latest limited edition pieces from the makers;

We also have extensive ranges of plush soft toys ranging from cute pocket money cuddlies to larger 48” tall free-standing bears! With bears and all manner of animal characters matched with prices to suit all ages and pockets, a visit to Urchins bears can be a magical experience for all.

Some of our customers have found it so hard to leave the bears at closing time...fortunately we have the superb fully refurbished Wellington coaching inn next door... So why not come down and enjoy a well earned tranquil weekend break anytime of the year!

Road Directions

The Old Mill is sited just behind the bridge at the beginning of the harbour on a confluence of the Valency and Jordan rivers.

There is limited street parking available next to the Old Mill, however to take advantage of a more leisurely visit to our beautiful harbour it is suggested that the main car park just 100 metres away is used.

On foot from the main car park, turning left at the exit, towards the harbour, the walk will take you past a number of interesting gift shops the local bakery and restaurants to the main road bridge. Carry on over on the left side of the bridge and around the corner passing ‘The Otherworld’ the mystical shop nestled just below the water wheel at the front of the Old Mill. The Old Mill is directly ahead and the main entrance into the building is on the centre left of the large courtyard at the rear of the building. The bears are all there just through the doors waiting to meet you.

Directions From further Away

From Exeter take motorway M5, at junction 31 the Motorway divides into two, the A30 and A38 (to Plymouth). Take the left lane marked A30 to Okehampton – Launceston - Bodmin.

Stay on the A30 for 40 miles to Launceston, then, approximately 2 miles beyond Launceston, take the slip-road exit off marked Kennards House (A395). Signposted to North Cornwall, Wadebridge, Camelford and Bude. Turn right at the mini-roundabout which will take you over the dual carriage way and turn left at next mini-roundabout.

After a few miles on this road you will drive through a village named Pipers Pool. You will then pass through a wind farm and then a farmer’s market village - Hallworthy and on the right you will pass an inn called the Wilsey Down. Remain on the A395 until you reach the A39.

Boscastle is clearly sign posted from here on. When you arrive in the village of Boscastle from B3266 (Camelford direction) Turn right at Doctors Corner junction beside Petrol Station (B3266 joins B3263) and follow signs to down into Boscastle Harbour. Just after the hairpin bend you will see the main road bridge over the river and the Old Mill beside it on the right. Car parking is just over the bridge approx 100 metres on right.
