Port Isaac is a charming working fishing village with a pretty harbour and white washed cottages. Much of the television series 'Doc Martin' was filmed in Port Isaac. The RNLI have stationed a lifeboat here since 1869.
Although Port Isaac is still a fishing port, it was also once a busy port where all sorts of produce was exported including Delabole slate.
The popular singing group 'Fishermens Friends' are from Port Isaac.

Port Quin
Port Quin was once a busy fishing village like Port Isaac but legend has it that all the entire fishing fleet was destroyed during a great storm in the late 19th Century.
