Port Isaac is a small picturesque fishing village in the north of Cornwall. With various different attractions and things to do, here is our walker's guide to helping you on your way around the village.
Doc Martin Tour
Fancy something a bit different? Are you a big TV watcher? Well, why not go behind the scenes of the TV drama Doc Martin? If you are a huge fan of the series, then this tour is the one for you! You will spend a full 90 minutes walking around the fictional seaside village of Portwenn looking at all the familiar filming locations such as the Doc's house, Louisa's school and Mrs Tishell's pharmacy. You'll hear all the stories and anecdotes about the actors from your tour guide who is a former extra from the show.
Port Isaac Beach
Fancy a spot of crabbing? Or a quick paddle? Take a walk to Port Isaac's beach!
Port Isaac Pottery
Not your usual tourist trap but, on your travels in Port Isaac why not pop in to where all the pottery is made? Pre order your pottery before heading down or just shop around when you arrive. There is even a café on site.
If you're feeling tired from all your walking, maybe it's time for a quick pit stop. Pop into The Golden Lion and sit by the harbour whilst enjoying a crab sandwich and a pint of ale.
Cliffside Gallery
Now, this is a little bit of a walk as it is at the top of Port Isaac but totally worth it when you see the views so make sure you take your camera. Upon arrival you will be warmly welcomed into the gallery by not only the colourful paintings of Port Isaac and its surroundings but also owner Katie Child's Border Collie. You might even come away with some specially designed cushions or table mats for your home.
Fancy a tea or coffee on your walk? Terrace Tea Rooms has a traditional tea room and an outdoor terrace for those sunny days.
Platt - Fishermans Friends
Now, this only depends on weather conditions but after 25 years running Fishermans Friends perform an open air concert on The Platt in Port Isaac every Friday evening from 8pm. Enjoy a drink while sitting on the beach listening to some music. A perfect walking destination with a rewarding and relaxing end goal.
After a long hard day of walking and exploring you're going to need somewhere to get your head down. Check out www.classic.co.uk for a nearby cottage that suits you.
