Doc Martin and North Cornwall Tour

Full Day Tour up to 4 guests £350 and 5-6 guests £400

During this full day tour you will be picked up from your accommodation before heading along the North Coast of Cornwall to visit the unspoilt fishing port of Boscastle. Here you can explore the little Cornish village and harbour, and maybe visit the famous museum of witchcraft.

We now take a short drive passing various buildings and locations used in the filming of the television series, Doc Martin, then on to Tintagel, with its 14th century “Old Post Office” and many legends of King Arthur.

Doc Martin’s Portwenn, a Real Place!

From here we will take a short coastal drive with spectacular views before joining the narrow roads to Port Isaac, the real Portwenn, where Doc Martin is set. Here you can wander the tiny higgledy-piggledy  alleyways (ope) between whitewashed fishermen’s cottages, and visit the surgery to see if the grumpy doc is at home. His home and surgery is actually called Fern Cottage, and is just one of the Doc Martin locations you can visit. You could also have lunch at The Old School, Portwenn’s primary school and workplace of Louisa, or a ice cream at Mrs Tishels.

After a leisurely time exploring, you will be taken a little further along the stunning coast to the now very quiet natural harbour of Port Quin. Here we can take a walk up to Doyden Castle, or Pentire Castle as it’s known in the series, and also hear about the hard lives of the past residents and why it has been known as the “village that died”.

Further Along the North Coast

It’s now a little further along the coast, past the surfing beach of Polzeath, and you now have a choice of staying in the vehicle for the drive to Padstow or alternatively you can take the foot ferry across the Camel Estuary. In Padstow you will have time to explore its picturesque working harbour, surrounded by great shops, galleries and world-class restaurants.
