Port Isaac is a picturesque fishing village that has thrived since the 14th century. Its narrow and winding streets — lined with old white-washed cottages and traditional granite and slate Cornish houses — are wonderful to explore. In fact, Port Isaac is famous for having one of the narrowest alleyways in Britain, Squeezy Belly Alley.

Quaint little fishing village. It is a bit off the beaten track, but quintessentially Cornish.
