The B3260 was the original number of the main road into Bude from the Bideford direction.
Starting on the A39 in Stratton the road headed into town along Stratton Road for about a mile but then appeared to stop short of its goal. At the junction with the B3261, from the A39 to the south of town, the B3260 ended instead of continuing along Bencoolen Road into the town centre as may have been expected.
Owing to the importance of the B3260 it was renumbered as an extension of the A3072 around 1930. It remains this number.
