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 [More]

If you are looking for a short break to really stimulate the senses then Cornwall’s Atlantic coast is spectacular enough on a good day but, when the weather is rough, it becomes even wilder and more romantic. It’s no surprise that 2 particular clifftop walks keep cropping up on lists of Britain’s top coastal walks. The two stretches of the South West coast path are the Hartland Quay to Hartland Point section and the Tintagel to Widemouth Bay section. Here you will find the ocean crashing into towering cliffs interspersed with magnificent sandy beaches. The Tintagel to Widemouth Bay walk [More]

Cornwall is defined by its magnificent coastline with 300 miles of dunes and cliffs, medieval harbours and oak-forested creeks – and every mile accessible on foot.

With one of the most scenic, and longest (over 300 miles) stretches of the South West Coast Path, and an inland path network of over 2400 miles no walker could ever get bored in Cornwall. In this film Martin Hunt, a dedicated walker and keen general naturalist who runs guided walking holidays in Cornwall, shows why Cornwall is such a great place for walking.

My hiking holiday in St Ives Cornwall with Holiday Fellowship (HF) Holidays was a great experience. St Ives is a delightful resort town with a maze-like old fishing area. It’s a perfect centre from which to discover the surrounding region. The HF Holidays’ Hiking Leaders were great. During the day hiking they guided us in a caring and considerate way, and also pointed out places of interest. There were 5 days of hikes and the hiking time was around 5 to 7 hours each day. We spent our free day taking a look around St Ives.
