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.

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

Nice walks around the lake, and easy to reach from the Rough Tor parking lot.

Brown Willy (Bronn Wennili) meaning 'Hill of Swallows', the highest hill in Cornwall! Enjoy great views of it from across the water here at Colliford Lake.

This gorgeous campsite and glamping site has traditional tipis to stay in as well as a camping field and ‘wild’ hidden camping spots. At the heart is a huge lake in a disused quarry where campers can swim, fish or borrow rowing boats and canoes to pootle about on the water. The campsite cafe, the Gastropod, is a lovely place for a pitstop.

Bossiney Cove is a beautiful hidden gem that can only be reached at low tide. The cove has a small sandy beach which is completely disappears at high water. Access to the beach is via a footpath over farmland and then by steep steps. Unfortunately, the route is not suitable for wheelchairs, pushchairs or people with mobility issues.

Typical Cornish fishing village that has become well known due to location filming of British television series 'Doc Martin'. Quaint little village with typically steep roads into main square. Sample a famous Barnecutts pasty from local bakery or Cornish Cider from one of several bars. The climb back out is a test, especially if the pasties and cider proved too tempting :)
