We have stopped early this afternoon in Doc Martin’s village – Port Isaac. The afternoon of course was spent exploring each of the show’s venues – the surgery, church, school, harbour and of course pubs. We have walked the lane from Doc Martin’s surgery down to the harbour. Jan has wandered through the cliffs and Jo had a cup of tea at the Slipway restaurant and inn – our abode for the night.
The road system through the village is extremely narrow as per the TV series. We had to unload our luggage and then drive to the top of the cliffs to park. Of course we then had to walk back down into the village. There are quite few tourists doing the Doc Martin tour of the village.
The day started out with a wonderful sunrise across Mount’s Bay. Unfortunately by the time we had breakfast rain had started but to our good fortune did not last too long.
We set out in sunshine across to the small seaside villages of St Just and St Ives. Both were extremely pretty and we had to park and walk down into the city centres. Again narrow roads, lots of gift shops, bakeries ( with Cornish pastries) and beautiful little beaches.
From here we drove to Newquay a rather large seaside town. A very popular town with tourists with a number of coves with sandy beaches. Again the town was built on a range of steep hills with very narrow roads. At times it was guesswork as to roads were one way or a dual carriage.
