セントティースの湖・トップ7

Nice run, sometimes narrow paths for a trail run but beautiful route!

You'll need to park the bike up, just off the road, adjacent to a gate (hidden behind a tree!) Then walk up the track to the Tor and the old quarry. Lovely to explore the remains and also the small lakes up there.

Beautiful hike well worth the effort and experience. It’s called the roller coaster for a reason 😁

The origins of Port Isaac are likely Celtic and the development of the town can be roughly divided into three phases. Through the Middle Ages and up to the coming of the railways, Port Isaac was a thriving port serving the area inland. During the Tudor period the harbour was dredged, a good illustration of its importance. Once goods from locations further inland were better served by the North Cornwall Railway, the economy of the port relied on pilchard fishing, probably a centuries-old industry. However the pilchard shoals began to decline, and after World War I tourism became the mainstay of the economy.

A certain sadness surrounds Port Quin. In the 19th century all the men from the small fishing port were lost at sea. The women and children who lived in the village abandoned their homes presumably due to having the the culture of the time meaning they were relient on the men's incomes. Port Quin is sometimes known as 'the village that died'.

Made famous by the popular TV series, Doc Martin, Port Isaac is quaint fishing village in a sheltered part of Cornwall's rugged coast. It is also home to the Sea Shanty group 'Fisherman's Friends' and the movie about the singers was filmed here too.

Nice area for walking

Car park available, and a good point to start a tour to Port Isaac
