Great Days Out – Port Isacc

Port Isaac

These days, many people associate the pretty Cornish village of Port Isaac with TV hit Doc Martin. And we’re as guilty as everyone else by wondering up the hill to gawp at the cottage which doubles as the grumpy doctor’s surgery.

But Port Isaac has plenty of other delights to offer for a good day out – pubs, bakeries, gift shops and narrow quirky alleyways to name but a few.

Braver souls than us drive down to the harbour in high season as, for some reason, it’s not a one-way street  and vehicles struggle to squeeze past each other and avoid the pedestrians on the narrow, hilly and winding lanes.  And be careful to keep an eye on the tides if you park on the beach or your car could be washed into the Atlantic!

Port Isaac is about 40 minutes from our self-catering holiday cottages in Padstow and well worth a day trip.  You might even see a few famous faces!
