Perched on Cornwall's rugged north coast, Port Isaac is a charming tangle of whitewashed cottages and narrow lanes that tumble right down to a working harbour. It feels timeless and intimate, though it might seem familiar—this is the village that played "Portwenn" in Doc Martin and the home of the legendary Fisherman's Friends. Beyond the fame, you'll find salty slipways, boats bobbing in the bay, and the aptly named "Squeezy Belly Alley," one of the narrowest streets in the country. With fresh seafood arriving daily on the quay, the dramatic South West Coast Path on your doorstep, and the ruins of Tintagel Castle just up the road, there is so much to discover.

Getting here is a breeze. By choosing a coach tour, you can skip the stress of navigating Cornwall's winding lanes and the hunt for a parking spot, leaving you free to simply soak up the scenery. Once you arrive, you can spend your time wandering cobbled streets, browsing local galleries, or treating yourself to a traditional Cornish cream tea. Many of our trips also include stops in nearby gems like Padstow and Boscastle to make the most of your visit. Ready to explore this unforgettable corner of the coast?
