From Doc Martin to King Arthur

The bad news is that time flies. The good news is that you’re the pilot.” – Michael Altshuler

From the car park above Port Isaac we walked past this playground and wondered: “Do the children that play here ever notice the amazing coast beyond?”
For all the Doc Marin fans (and if you’re not a fan, what are you waiting for?), you’ll probably recognize the harbor in, fictional, Port Wenn. Of course, this is where they shot most of the scenes – a village called Port Isaac.
Heading up the hill, you’ll also recognize where The Doc lived and practiced medicine. Small house with rust trim.
This is where the village pharmacist, Mrs Tiscel, entertained all of us 😂
And the school house where Louisa was head mistress.
A different doc on the porch of Doc Martin’s place.
As you can probably tell from the way we’re dress it was was not a warm day.
And yet this little local had no issues with the chilly temps. We watched her as she looked for the perfect rocks to throw into the water. She would pick one up in each hand and them give them each a toss – ambidextrous perhaps? 🤷🏾‍♀️
Up to the top of the headland for a “cows’ eye view”.
Funny, they don’t seem all that interested in their amazing surroundings! 😉
We tried to imagine what it would be like to live in this little village with its’ glorious harbor and views…
A parting glance at the harbor that we’ve seen so many times while watching Doc Martin – a kick to actually be on the “set”.

  1. It’s such a magical place, and the scenery so beautiful! I watched series 1-5 of Doc Martin on Netflix during my time in Birmingham, MI 🙂
