Cornwall - Port Isaac and Boscastle

Our day started at Port Isaac, a place we visited just a few months ago and our inspiration for this trip. It's a must for all Doc Martin fans. We walked around the headland and down the hill, past Louisa's cottage, past the school which is actually a restuarant and the playground is a car park. Down to the beach for a walk, through sequeezy belly alley which is where the Doc lived when he separated from Louisa. Onto the chemist and up the hill to the Doc's surgery. It's so small and there is absolutely no way I would drive a Mercedes through those streets. TV is very deceptive.

We carried on up the hill and through daisies and flowers. It felt like a lovely summer's day with the sun shining and us walking through a flower garden...mid October. We walked up to the headland which is used in the filimg too. It has the most amazing view back to Port Isaac. We sat on the hill for a long time looking at the view around to Tintagel and looking down to Port Issac. It's up there with one of the most amazing views I have ever seen.

Our next stop was to Boscastle, which I've also visited a couple of times before and notorious for the devasting flooding. We walked to the harbour and up to the cliff edge for an amazing view back into Boscastle. All the while Penny and Sailor had a lot of attention. They were loving it. Ali and I had a lunch pitstop. A cream tea for Ali and a cheese scone cream tea for me. The best type of cream tea. Ali even put the cream and jam on the cornish way!
