Local Information for Port Isaac

Port Isaac is a fishing village in Cornwall, England. Its nearest town is Wadebridge, 10 miles away. This makes it one of the most remote villages in the country.

Despite its loneliness the village has had several visits from celebrities. The local village hall has been decorated by the team of Changing Rooms and the ITV series Doc Martin was filmed there although the village was given a fictional name of 'Port Wenn'.

More recently (October 2005), the village was again used for the backdrop to the forthcoming TV production of Rosumand Pilcher's "The Shell Seekers". Filming took place in the village for a week with the productions star, Vanessa Redgrave, filming many of her scenes in the main street.
