Boscastle's topography, with steep valley sides and a narrow river channel, contributed to the rapid flow of water during heavy rainfall. The surrounding impermeable slate rock also led to increased surface runoff. Additionally, the village's location at the confluence of three rivers made it more susceptible to flash flooding.
The area of Boscastle to Widemouth is 6,390,000.0 square meters.
