A Visit to Port Isaac, a Quaint Fishing Village
in Cornwall, Home To British TV Show Doc Martin
And The Sea Shanty Singers, The Fisherman's Friends 〓〓
Hello, hope you have a good weekend! This week, we visited Port Isaac, a working fishing village in Cornwall, in the south west of England. This location has become well-known because the British TV show Doc Martin was filmed there and it is the home of the famous sea shanty singers, the Fisherman's Friends.

The cottage in Port Isaac that featured as Doc Martin's house in the TV show of the same name
Port Isaac is a small fishing village on the Atlantic coast in north Cornwall, England. It is known for its granite and whitewashed old cottages, working harbour and winding streets and has been a fishing village since the 14th century. During the summer months, tourists or holidaymakers flock to this location because of its quaint appeal, and also, as I mentioned, it is one of the filming locations of the British TV show Doc Martin and where the folk band, the Fisherman's Friends originated from.
It has a nice look and style to it and worth a visit. In the last photo, you can see a funny named location that I tracked down called Squeezy Belly Alley because, as you can see, it is very narrow!

A funny sign that I had to take a photo of, advertising fish and chips!
