Port Isaac
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Port Isaac (Cornish: Porthusek) is a fishing village in Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. 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 DIY SOS, and the ITV series Doc Martin was filmed there although the village was given a fictional name of 'Port Wenn'. Saving Grace (2000), a successful comedy, was filmed in and around the village.
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.
