Port Isaac, film capital of Cornwall

Port Isaac

Nestled in a valley on the North Cornwall coast is a sleepy fishing village. Unless it’s not sleepy. Sometimes it becomes the most glamorous humming port in Britain as film crews, catering crews, extras and hangers-on are all busy making movies! We know it as as Port Isaac, 35 minutes away.

Fisherman’s Friends

Fisherman’s Friends is all about our local boy band! You might be able to spot a few of the group playing extras in the pub scene. Great scenes all around the village. Starring James Purefoy, Tuppence Middleton, and Daniel Mays.

Amy Foster

Amy Foster is a 1997 movie based on a 1903 story by Joseph Conrad. It stars Rachel Weisz and Vincent Perez.

Saving Grace

Saving Grace is a comedy/caper film, starring Brenda Blethyn, Craig Ferguson and Martin Clunes filmed in 2000. Grace Trevethyn’s husband leaves her in economic ruins, so together with her gardener she uses her plant-cultivation ability to grow marijuana.

Doc Martin

Doc Martin, a TV comedy drama starring Martin Clunes as a grumpy doctor whose tactless manner causes mayhem. What’s not to love?

And don’t panic; last we heard, we have at least one more series of Doc Martin coming in 2019. But you can help determine the future of the series: LIKE the Facebook page if you want more adventures with the Doc and all his friends. And here’s a little known fact: our local Buttermilk Artisan Confectionery has a shop in Port Isaac that becomes Mrs Tishell’s Chemist Shop in Port Wenn!

Poldark – will return…
