Port Isaac - Doc Martin country






As you walk around the headland at Port Isaac you are met with the familiar sight of that little harbour village nestled into its bay, and as has been the case for us most of the trip, the tide was out!!! Still feeling seedy from the food poisoning last week, we popped up to the local doctor's house for a check-up, but unfortunately he was not in an it was closed off with a chain by the 'Australian' owner!!!

However the good news is that the Doc Martin series is being filmed at the moment and they were filming in the nearby village that very day for a hospital scene.

We learned some inside news also (block your ears if you don't want to know) Auntie is not long for this world!!!! Luckily, there is a new auntie who comes out of the woodwork to join the show. Walking around Port Isaac was wonderful with its steep narrow streets and whitewashed buildings. A lovely day was turned on for us with (sort of) blue skys and gentle breezes. Heavenly!
