"Where all you can hear is the sound of the waves..."
Port Isaac is a small fishing village located on the beautiful Cornish coastline. Steeped in history with cobbled streets, hidden alleyways, fine eateries, the freshest seafood you will find and a good local pub - there is an endless list as to why to visit this place.
For those of you who are "Doc Martin" fans, why not take a tour around the village to hunt out the various buildings used in the hit TV series, plus find out more interesting facts, those you won't find on the internet. If you are looking for a slower pace holiday, immerse yourself with the locals in the pubs and restaurants, all serving local produce on a daily basis, sit out on the slipway to enjoy an evening fish and chips whilst watching the sunset.
For the more adventurous there is miles and miles of untouched coastal walks, some more strenuous than others to test your stamina! Take a picnic and sit out for hours on end taking in the unrivalled views or choose one of the many eateries upon your return to sample some of the local cuisine.
Located a short drive (or walk if you fancy a more active holiday) are the historic Port Quinn (also known as the village that died) and Tintagel. A little further on you can take a trip to Polzeath, Rock and Padstow - home to Rick Stein's cookery school and many of his restaurants. Making Port Isaac your perfect base to explore all that Cornwall has to offer.
With it's narrow winding streets lined with whitewash cottages overlooking the small harbour, Port Isaac is a truly picturesque village. Set amidst rugged and magnificent coastal scenery, you can certainly understand why it's become something of a film star in recent years.
