- PORT ISAAC CORNWALL | Tour of the seaside holiday fishing village of Port Isaac, also known as Port Wenn in the Doc Martin TV show that was filmed here, and famous for it's Fisherman's Friends movie filming locations (and the real Fisherman's Friends actually live and sing here!)
Port Isaac is a captivating fishing village nestled on the dramatic Atlantic coast of north Cornwall, England. Steeped in history, natural beauty, and a touch of pop culture fame, Port Isaac offers a charming escape for visitors.
Port Isaac's story stretches back to the 14th century, where it thrived as a vital port. Its name, derived from the Cornish language "Porth Izzick," translates to "corn port," reflecting its role in exporting corn from the rich inland agricultural area. The harbor bustled with activity, handling various imports and exports like coal, timber, pottery, and Delabole slate. The arrival of railways in the mid-19th century shifted trade routes to land, and Port Isaac transitioned into a primarily fishing village.
Port Isaac's heart lies in its picturesque harbor. Here, time seems to slow down as you wander along the narrow, winding streets lined with charming cottages built from local stone. The 15th-century pier, constructed during the reign of Henry VII, adds a touch of historical grandeur. Keep an eye out for "Squeeze-Belly Alley," a particularly narrow passageway, once considered the world's narrowest according to the Guinness Book of Records.
Port Isaac gained global recognition as the filming location for the popular British television series "Doc Martin." Fans of the show will find themselves wandering the same streets traversed by grumpy-yet-lovable Dr. Martin. The doctor's fictional cottage, "Fern Cottage," is actually a real house on Roscarrock Hill and a popular tourist destination.
Apart from its television fame, Port Isaac offers a plethora of experiences:
South West Coast Path: Walkers can embark on a scenic journey along this national trail, taking in the breathtaking coastal vistas.
Fisherman's Friends: Music enthusiasts can delve into the local sea shanty tradition with the world-famous singing group, the Fisherman's Friends, who hail from Port Isaac.
Art and Culture: Explore galleries showcasing local artists' creations or visit the Collegiate Church of St Endellion, a beautiful example of medieval architecture.
Foodie Delights: Savor fresh seafood at the harborside restaurants, or explore the charming cafes and shops lining the streets.
Whether you're a history buff, a nature lover, a Doc Martin devotee, or simply seeking a charming seaside escape, Port Isaac offers something for everyone. With its rich heritage, stunning scenery, and friendly atmosphere, this captivating Cornish village promises an unforgettable experience.
I hope you enjoy this Port Isaac Walking Tour and enjoy seeing the fisherman's friends and doc martin filming locations - let me know!

Thank you for a wonderfully enjoyable video. Beautiful cinematography and your on-screen texting sufficient for details. Bravo!
Thank you so much!
Lots more to come on the channel ❤️
I fell in love with Port Isaac the first time I saw Saving Grace. When they brought out the series, I was in 7th heaven! Absolutely beautiful!❤
Some friends and I stayed for a week in Port Isaac the year before they started filming Doc Martin. My husband and I have visited a few times since then and we once stayed in The Old School House hotel. It's a beautiful place. The walk from the car park is a killer though!
It is - my knees are still recovering 🤣
@@GimbalWalkTV uh oh
We love it there, didn't watch doc Martin when it was being filmed and missed a filming day as cast had covid, only just watched whole 10 series on itv3, it's so beautiful
We can’t wait to visit here. Thankyou for showing us Port Isaac. We are coming for our first overseas trip from Australia and staying in Port Isaac for 2 nights. Love watching your videos.
Have fun - Port Isaac is amazing!
Thanks for video loved the walk the scenery,the bay, lovely houses and shops it's a lovely seaside village hope you ok 😅☀️👍
A beautifull place to live and visit its where they filmed the TV show doc something Martin Clunes thanks for a amazing vlogg again 😊

Hi I loved doc martin series but never got the chance to visit port Isaac but happy to say I'm going next month and I can't wait ☺️
Have fun! It’s great there!
same 7th June - can't wait !
Looks lovely, thanks for such an excellent quality recording! :)
Thank you too!
You missed Temple Bar - known to visitors as Squeeze Belly Alley. It's about 18 inches wide. And you also missed a fire insurance plaque near the roofline of a cottage on Dolphin Street. It was formerly a pub. Sadly now the holiday cottages are very expensive. My cost to stay in a three bed cottage was £450 a week in 2019. In 2022 the same cottage was double that! Same cottage now is £1100. All the same week in May. I'm priced out! 😆
Goodness that is a massive jump isn’t it
Too expensive for me too!
@@GimbalWalkTV They are silly prices now. We have stayed in three different properties over the years (one of them twice) but I am not sure we will stay in the village again - much as we love it - as it is too expensive now in peak season. (We are restricted to school holidays.)
We stayed in Dolphin Cottage. It was the year before they filmed Doc Martin
@@sarac.3259 We've just booked a 2 night stay there for the first week of July. We did an Airbnb and it wasn't too expensive. Can't wait to see it in person.
4:32 'That' is a very very nice black Defender...
What a beautiful village nice to see it hasn't been spoilt like some videos I've watched of towns in Cornwall. Hope it stays like that.
I'm watching from Poland and yes, I'm a big fan of the Doc Martin series. One day I hope to be able to go to Cornwall and see the place and other villages and cities there. Which cottage would I chose to stay in? No idea, they all look amazing! Probably one with a view over the bay.
Brilliant loved it thanks
Port Isaac is similar to Polperro, beautiful villages.
It is!
Yes been here, truly is a beautiful village, one of the best in Cornwall. Thankyou for sharing this video. 😊👍
My pleasure 😊
Drone shots were amazing
❤️❤️❤️
Great video by the way. Keep them coming
Thanks so much ❤️
I often wonder where do the locals park their cars? Do they park outside the villages like the tourists, quite a trek if they do
Thanks thats a lovely video. Ive watched every episode of Doc Martin. Places dont look quite the same after filming is finished, do they? Beautiful views but no visit for me due to mobilty issues.
Beautiful vidéo as usual neil
