PORT ISAAC CORNWALL | Full tour of Port Isaac [Doc Martin, Fishermans Friends Filming Location] 

PORT ISAAC CORNWALL | Tour of the seaside holiday fishing village of Port Isaac, also known as Port Wenn in the Doc Martin TV show that was filmed here, and famous for it's Fisherman's Friends movie filming locations (and the real Fisherman's Friends actually live and sing here!)
Port Isaac is a captivating fishing village nestled on the dramatic Atlantic coast of north Cornwall, England. Steeped in history, natural beauty, and a touch of pop culture fame, Port Isaac offers a charming escape for visitors.
Port Isaac's story stretches back to the 14th century, where it thrived as a vital port. Its name, derived from the Cornish language "Porth Izzick," translates to "corn port," reflecting its role in exporting corn from the rich inland agricultural area. The harbor bustled with activity, handling various imports and exports like coal, timber, pottery, and Delabole slate. The arrival of railways in the mid-19th century shifted trade routes to land, and Port Isaac transitioned into a primarily fishing village.
Port Isaac's heart lies in its picturesque harbor. Here, time seems to slow down as you wander along the narrow, winding streets lined with charming cottages built from local stone. The 15th-century pier, constructed during the reign of Henry VII, adds a touch of historical grandeur. Keep an eye out for "Squeeze-Belly Alley," a particularly narrow passageway, once considered the world's narrowest according to the Guinness Book of Records.
Port Isaac gained global recognition as the filming location for the popular British television series "Doc Martin." Fans of the show will find themselves wandering the same streets traversed by grumpy-yet-lovable Dr. Martin. The doctor's fictional cottage, "Fern Cottage," is actually a real house on Roscarrock Hill and a popular tourist destination.
Apart from its television fame, Port Isaac offers a plethora of experiences:
South West Coast Path: Walkers can embark on a scenic journey along this national trail, taking in the breathtaking coastal vistas.
Fisherman's Friends: Music enthusiasts can delve into the local sea shanty tradition with the world-famous singing group, the Fisherman's Friends, who hail from Port Isaac.
Art and Culture: Explore galleries showcasing local artists' creations or visit the Collegiate Church of St Endellion, a beautiful example of medieval architecture.
Foodie Delights: Savor fresh seafood at the harborside restaurants, or explore the charming cafes and shops lining the streets.
Whether you're a history buff, a nature lover, a Doc Martin devotee, or simply seeking a charming seaside escape, Port Isaac offers something for everyone. With its rich heritage, stunning scenery, and friendly atmosphere, this captivating Cornish village promises an unforgettable experience.
