Port Issac on the Atlantic Coast of North Cornwall, England.
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. Port Gaverne is a hamlet that is normally considered part of Port Isaac, despite having its own individual history. 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 'Portwenn'. Saving Grace (2000), a successful comedy, was filmed in and around the village. In October 2005, the village was again used for the backdrop to the TV production of Rosamunde 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. The village is also home, for part of the year, to the designer Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen and his family.
