Travel

Port Isaac is a small harbour village on the north coast of Cornwall. Modern holiday homes form the upper section of the village, but the lower harbourside cottages and buildings date from the 18th and 19th century. Leading to and from the harbour area, extremely narrow roads are shared by motorists and pedestrians. At the harbourside, Port Isaac Fishermen Ltd. sells fresh, local whole fish and shellfish.
In recent times, Port Isaac has served as the fictional Port Wenn in ITVs Doc Martin series, and the narrow Roscarrock Hill lane is often crowded with tourists in search of Doc Martins famous cottage/surgery. At the upper end of the lane, a section of the South West Coast Path leads across the clifftops for 5 km. to Port Quin.
