Port Isaac - Cornwall - England - 4K Virtual Walk - July 2020
Join us for a full virtual tour of Port Isaac, Cornwall. Our walk starts on the South West Coast Path with glorious views of the picturesque fishing village of Port Isaac. Made famous by the British television series Doc Martin and the male singing group Fisherman's Friends. Our walk was filmed on a beautiful summers day in July 2020. From high up on the South West Coast Path we make our way down Roscarrock Hill. Here you will see Doc Martin's Surgery (Fern Cottage) a picturesque detached stone cottage with sensational views over Port Isaac harbour, the quaint village and the sea. The cottage is used as the surgery in the television series, Doc Martin starring Martin Clunes. Fern Cottage is available for rent as a 2 bedroom self catering holiday cottage. We wander down to the harbour and beach and explore the cute narrow streets with gorgeous cottages, many available to rent for holidays. Our walk finishes on the South West Coast Path on the opposite side to where we started.
Due to technical issues with the sound on the day we've had to unfortunately replace the audio. The audio used has been matched as best as we can so hopefully it won't affect your enjoyment.
**************************************************************
Port Isaac has been an attractive fishing village since the early fourteenth century. Its narrow, winding streets are lined with old white-washed cottages and traditional granite, slate-fronted Cornish houses, many of which are listed as of architectural or historic importance. From the Middle Ages until the middle of the 19th century, Port Isaac was a busy port handling various imports and exports, including coal, timber, pottery and Delabole slate. In fact the name Port Isaac is derived from the Cornish Porth Izzick meaning the 'corn port'. After the advent of the railways, it became principally a fishing port.
Doc Martin is a British television medical comedy drama series starring Martin Clunes in the title role. The programme is set in the fictional seaside village of Portwenn and filmed on location in the village of Port Isaac, Cornwall, United Kingdom. Nine series aired between 2004 and 2019, with a television film airing on Christmas Day in 2006. The ninth and most recent series aired on ITV from September 2019, and streamed in the United States and Canada on Acorn TV. In April 2020 the tenth series was confirmed by director Nigel Cole.
The Fisherman's Friends are a male singing group from Port Isaac, Cornwall, who sing sea shanties. They have been performing locally since 1995, and signed a record deal with Universal Music in March 2010. Whilst essentially an a cappella group, their studio recordings and live performances now often include traditional simple instrumentation. Their performances combine traditional songs of the sea with more contemporary folk music and a large dash of humour. In the original line-up, all of the members of the group grew up within half a mile of Port Isaac harbour except for John McDonnell who is a Yorkshireman. Three were fishermen, and the others are linked to the sea through service as coastguards or lifeboatmen.
In 2009 BBC Radio presenter Johnnie Walker was in Cornwall on holiday and happened to come across two of their home made CDs. Walker's manager, Ian Brown, then travelled to Port Isaac and was able to negotiate a recording contract worth £1 million for them with Universal Music Group who released their first commercial album the following year. Their first album with Universal, Port Isaac's Fisherman's Friends, was recorded in St Kew Parish Church, Cornwall, and released in April 2010.
They have performed at the 2010 Cornbury music festival in Oxfordshire, the Glastonbury Festival on several occasions, typically on the Acoustic Stage, but on one occasion performing on the Pyramid Stage and the Cambridge Folk Festival. The band have also appeared at Towersey Festival, Wickham Festival, Beautiful Days, Costa Del Folk, Shrewsbury Folk Festival, Tunes in the Dunes, Boardmasters and Celtic Connections. They also often perform in Port Isaac, regularly singing on the platt (beach) in the summer for charity.
The 'Fisherman's Friends' feature film was released in cinemas nationwide in the UK on 15 March 2019. All members of the band had cameos in the film. The singing is a blend of the voices of the group themselves and of the actors. In May 2019 a sequel titled Fisherman’s Friends 2: Bound For South Australia was announced which will take them from performing at Glastonbury to struggling to put their second album together.

PORT ISAAC | Exploring Port Isaac, Cornwall, home to Doc Marten and Fisherman's Friends
PORT ISAAC | We explore the beautiful seaside holiday village of Port Isaac Cornwall, England, the filming location for the Doc Martin TV show and the Fisherman's Friends movie.
Port Isaac is a stunning little fishing village close to Port Gaverne and Tintagel on the West coast of Cornwall UK. It's a working fishing village but also a huge travel and tourist destination with many tourists heading there for a Cornwall holiday or short break.
The location of Port Isaac is fantastic with it being such a short drive from other Cornwall towns and villages such as Padstow, Polzeath and Boscastle. But visitors to Port Isaac will tell you that this beautiful place is enough in it's own right to warrant being visited and loved as a fantastic and stunning looking Cornwall holiday destination.
Port Isaac is also famous for being the Doc Martin Filming Location and the Doc Martin show is filmed in and around the village, and you can spot the famous filming locations around the place and see where Martin Clunes and the cast of Doc Martin film their scenes including Doc Martins house and the Pharmacy that you see in the TV Show.
And Port Isaac is also the Fisherman's Friends Filming Location with the movie not just being filmed in the village but also the story being one of the Fishermans Friends sea shanty group that started and is still based in Port Isaac. If you are an avid Fisherman's Friends fan or you are just someone who enjoys visiting Filming Locations then Port Isaac is most definitely for you.
We take a look at Fore Street and The Platt (Where you will find and see Fisherman's Friends singing in the summer) as well as Roscarrock Hill (Where you will find Fern Cottage the filming location of Doc Martin's House). This isn't a Port Isaac filming locations tour but I thought I'd include a few for you.

*************************************************************************************************
Padstow is a town, civil parish and fishing port on the north coast of Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. The town is situated on the west bank of the River Camel estuary approximately 5 miles northwest of Wadebridge, 10 miles northwest of Bodmin and 10 miles northeast of Newquay.
Traditionally a fishing port, Padstow is now a popular tourist destination. Although some of its former fishing fleet remains, it is mainly a yachting haven on a dramatic coastline with few easily navigable harbours. The influence of restaurateur Rick Stein can be seen in the port, and tourists travel from long distances to eat at his restaurant and cafés. This has led to the town being dubbed Padstein by food writers in the British media.
However, the boom in the popularity of the port has caused house price inflation both in the port and surrounding areas, as people buy homes to live in, or as second or holiday homes. This has meant significant numbers of locals cannot afford to buy property in the area, with prices often well over 10 times the average salary of around £15,000. This has led to a population decline.
The approach from the sea into the River Camel is partially blocked by the Doom Bar, a bank of sand extending across the estuary which is a significant hazard to shipping and the cause of many shipwrecks. For ships entering the estuary, the immediate loss of wind due to the cliffs was a particular hazard, often resulting in ships being swept onto the Doom Bar.
The Black Tor ferry provides a scenic ride across the the River Camel between Padstow and Rock. The pedestrian ferry runs every 20 minutes taking around 5-10 minutes as opposed to a 30 minute car journey. The ferry operates throughout the year although there are no Sunday crossings between mid-November and mid-February.
Padstow's old railway line is now the Camel Trail, a footpath and cycle path which is popular owing to its picturesque route beside the River Camel. One of the railway mileposts is now embedded outside the Shipwright's Arms public house on the Harbour Front.
The South West Coast Path runs on both sides of the River Camel estuary and crosses from Padstow to Rock via the Black Tor ferry. The path gives walking access to the coast with Stepper Point and Trevose Head within an easy day's walk of Padstow.
The Saints' Way long-distance footpath runs from Padstow to Fowey on the south coast of Cornwall.
The Camel Trail cycleway follows the course of the former railway from Padstow. It is open to walkers, cyclists and horse riders and suitable for disabled access. The 17.3-mile long route leads to Wadebridge and on to Wenford Bridge and Bodmin, and is used by an estimated 400,000 users each year generating an income of approximately £3 million a year.
Padstow is best known for its 'Obby 'Oss' festival, taking place on May Day every year. The festival starts at midnight on May Eve when townspeople gather outside the Golden Lion Inn to sing the Night Song. By morning, the town has been dressed with greenery and flowers placed around the maypole. A procession of the Red Obby Oss and the Blue Obby Oss dance around and through the streets of Padstow for twelve hours, a custom that has been held for centuries, thousands of people gather in Padstow's narrow streets to catch a glimpse of the famous Obby Oss.

St Ives is a seaside town, civil parish and port in Cornwall, England. The town lies north of Penzance and west of Camborne on the coast of the Celtic Sea. In former times it was commercially dependent on fishing. The decline in fishing, however, caused a shift in commercial emphasis, and the town is now primarily a popular seaside resort, notably achieving the title of Best UK Seaside Town from the British Travel Awards in both 2010 and 2011. St Ives was incorporated by Royal Charter in 1639. St Ives has become renowned for its number of artists. It was named best seaside town of 2007 by The Guardian newspaper.
St Ives is on the western shore of St Ives Bay, its harbour sheltered by St Ives Island (a headland) and Smeaton's pier. Close to the harbour, in the old part of the town, the streets are narrow and uneven while its wider streets are in the newer parts of the town on rising ground. The town has four beaches: Porthmeor a surfing beach, Porthgwidden a small sandy cove, Harbour by the working port and Porthminster which has almost half a mile of sand. St Ives has an oceanic climate and has some of the mildest winters and warmest summers in Britain and Northern Europe. It is therefore a popular tourist resort in the summer, and also benefits from an amount of sunshine per year that is above the national average. The South West Coast Path passes through the town.
The Sloop Inn is an inn in St Ives, Cornwall, England, located on the wharf. It is one of the oldest inns in Cornwall, the public house is dated to circa 1312 although the present building was built in the 17th or 18th century. The Sloop Inn was popular with artists during the Victorian era.
Polzeath - Cornwall - England - 4k Virtual Walk - July 2020
Take a walk with us around Polzeath, Cornwall. Our walk starts up on the coast path, we then make our way down towards the beach, stopping briefly at Polzeath Beach Holiday Park. We take a walk around the village and the beach before finishing in the car park overlooking the beach.
Due to technical issues with the sound on the day we've had to unfortunately replace the audio. The audio used has been matched as best as we can so hopefully it won't affect your enjoyment.
**************************************************************
Polzeath is a small seaside resort in the civil parish of St Minver in Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. It is approximately 6 miles north west of Wadebridge on the Atlantic coast. Polzeath has a sandy beach and is popular with holiday-makers and surfers.

Port Isaac Cornwall Virtual Walk | Port Wenn for Doc Martin Fans
Port Isaac Cornwall is portrayed as Port Wenn on the ITV television series Doc Martin. We will take a virtual walk through this small fishing village on the Atlantic coast of north Cornwall. The village is also home to the sea-shanty singing group Fisherman's Friends.
Most of the old centre of the village consists of 18th and 19th Century cottages, many officially listed as of architectural or historic importance.The village has around 90 listed buildings (all Grade II)
Through the middle ages and up to the coming of the railways, Port Isaac was a thriving port serving the area inland.
Port Isaac's pier was constructed during the reign of Henry VIII.
One of the best surfing beaches in North Cornwall is Polzeath 4 miles away.

Port Isaac - come for a wander! Virtual, step-by-step Walk around Port Isaac Cornwall or 'Port Wenn'
We were lucky enough to take a trip to Port Isaac when lockdown 'travel for exercise' restrictions were easing but before holiday accommodation had opened. Being in Port Isaac felt a bit different. Usually it is a busy bustling place with people crowding the streets and shops, eager to spot the cottages and places used in Doc Martin. Chatter, laughter and childish squeals usually fill the air.
On the day we visited, it was so quiet. The stage was still being set, painters with the finishing touches, housekeepers cleaning windows and the few locals that continue to live in the village enjoying a quiet drink on the Platt, with children paddling in the water.
Beginning on the South West Coast Path (SWCP), just west of Port Isaac, we walk to the village to explore the quiet streets, quaint lanes and cute cottages, tucked cheek by jowl in the heart of the village. After winding through the cottages, we walk up Fore Street, passing the Old School House and pick up the SWCP once again that leads to the St Endellion car park, before taking a little footpath, Doctor's Meadow to finish back in the centre of the village with a most photographed view of the harbour.
A challenge for the Doc Martin fans - see how many filming locations you can spot!! Here are four obvious ones: Doc Martin's surgery at 7:41, Aunt Ruth's house at 15:33, Crab and Lobster at 21:28 and Louisa's school at 32:14. We spotted plenty!!
The standard description bit…

Polperro - Cornwall - England - 4k Virtual Walk - July 2020
Walk with us around Polperro in July 2020. Following the recent lockdown, the shops, restaurants and pubs are starting to open and tourists are returning once again.
The walk starts at the top of the village near the Crumplehorn Inn. We make our way down through the narrow streets to the harbour and beach.
**************************************************************
Polperro lies just a few spectacular miles along the coast from Looe. Sheltered from the ravages of time and tide in its cliff ravine, it's an enchanting jumble of cottages, each one unmistakably the work of a Cornish fisherman.
Polperro has a small sandy beach located just outside the main breakwater. The beach is in front of Willy Wilcox cave, believed to have been used by smugglers.
One of the most popular places in Cornwall, the village of Polperro is undoubtedly one of the prettiest.
Packed tightly into a steep valley on either side of the River Pol, the quaint colour-washed cottages and twisting streets offer surprises at every turn: the Saxon and Roman bridges, the famous House on Props, the old Watch House, the fish quay, and the 16th century house where Dr. Jonathan Couch lived, naturalist and grandfather of the celebrated writer Sir Arthur Quiller-Couch.
With its protected inner harbour full of colourful boats. Polperro is still a working fishing village, although tourism provides the main source of income. Attractions include a Museum of Smuggling and a Model Village.

Port Isaac - 'The roughest place in Cornwall!'
“When I was a boy at Port Isaac, no visitors came to the place for a holiday. If a stranger did come into the village all the women would put their heads out of the windows and ask, oos’ee! Port Isaac in those days was the roughest place in Cornwall.”
These are the words of Herbert Brown and relate to his childhood growing up in Port Isaac during the 1880’s
Herbert goes on to say “The sport we all took an interest in was cock fighting, of a Sunday morning. There were no restrictions, sometimes the owners used to set to at one another after their birds had finished, and I’ve seen the Town Platt there covered in blood and hair!”
We were intrigued by this, how does a village go from being the roughest place in Cornwall to one of the most popular and idyllic tourist spots in the county?
In this video we chart the rise of tourism in Port Isaac looking at how the village has changed over the years, we walk the streets and alleyways comparing photos from the early 1900’s with the scene today, discover the key role the railway played in the birth of tourism here and use a guide from the 1950’s to look at the accommodation available for visitors.
In recent times Port Isaac has been popularised on TV being portrayed as Port Wenn the fictional Cornish village of Doc Martin, being fans of the ‘Doc’ we couldn’t resist the opportunity to go in search of some of the buildings used during the filming of the series.
Our video is called ‘Port Isaac, the roughest place in Cornwall!” We hope you enjoy watching Sarah & Andrew.

***************************************************************************************************
Polruan is a small fishing village in the parish of Lanteglos-by-Fowey in Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. It is bounded on three sides by water: to the north by Pont Creek, to the west by the River Fowey and to the south by the English Channel and neighbours village Bodinnick to the north, connected by a 4-mile walk along the hill tops. Polruan is very steep and well protected from the prevailing winds and Polruan Pool is a haven for small boats.
Polruan has a history as a small fishing village known as a location for much old boat building. St Ruan was the first to occupy the top of Polruan Hill the point where St Saviour's ruin still stands today. The ruin of St Saviour's church on the hill above Polruan dates to the 8th century. It was a landmark for shipping, and also, in times of war, a vantage point for observing the approach of enemy shipping to the strategically important Fowey harbour. The name Polruan derives from the Cornish for harbour of a man called Ruveun.
Polruan also has a blockhouse fortification built in the 14th century that guards the entrance to the river Fowey, one of a pair—its partner being situated on the Fowey side of the river. The Polruan blockhouse is well preserved due to the efforts of various enthusiastic councillors and conservationists on the Polruan side of the river, in contrast to the blockhouse in Fowey. Between the two blockhouses was strung a defensive chain to prevent enemy ships entering the harbour, the chain being lowered for friendly vessels. This was primarily used during the wars with the Dutch.
The Harbour Commissioners Yard was formerly a sardine processing factory which also supplied electricity for the village. The gun battery at Peak Point held an anti-shipping gun of which the mounting pin can still be seen. The battery gave the name of Battery Park. The wall at Peak Field was used for rifle practice. Motor torpedo boats were repaired at Pont Creek during World War II. The overhanging trees hid the boats from surveillance aircraft. The remains of cradles for boat repair and some hull parts can still be seen preserved in the mud on the foreshore. Some boat-building still takes place in Polruan: Toms's Yard builds and repairs boats and has reputation for handling trawlers and also for hand building in wood.
The Polruan ferry crosses the river to and from Fowey every 15 minutes and operates every day of the year. There is also a passenger ferry to Mevagissey. Cars can be ferried to Fowey from Bodinnick which is 4 miles away. When the car ferry from Bodinnick is not running, Fowey and points westwards can be reached by car via Lostwithiel.
Polruan is one of a now increasing number of Cornish places to use lookouts to help marine craft in distress. Many lookout towers were demolished in the 1980s to save costs. Now, thanks to the National Coastwatch Institution (NCI), a voluntary charity, many of the surviving old coastguard lookouts and towers are being re-manned by qualified volunteers. The Old Coastguard Lookout at Polruan was among the first to be re-commissioned in this way. (The current HM Coastguard headquarters for cliff rescue, including the equipment store, is on St Saviour's Hill adjacent to the NCI Station, above the main village carpark. Exercises of the HM Coastguard continue.) The current Polruan NCI Station overlooks the Fowey estuary and also St Austell Bay beyond the village.
