Location

Nearby Attractions

Port Isaac Harbour

tourism

A working fishing village of narrow lanes, whitewashed cottages, and a harbour where crab boats still land their catch — Port Isaac has changed little since the nineteenth century, which is precisely why television producers keep using it. The BBC series Doc Martin has made it famous worldwide, but the village's authentic character predates and outlasts any filming. The smell of fish and seaweed is very much part of the experience.

Doyden Castle

historic

A small Gothic folly built around 1830 on the cliffs above Port Quin by Samuel Symons of Wadebridge — reputedly for wild parties. The National Trust now lets it as a holiday cottage, but the exterior on its spectacular headland above the deserted cove of Port Quin is freely accessible and provides one of the finest viewpoints on the north Cornish coast.
