Port Isaac - just 1/2 mile from Honey Cellars

Port Isaac is today an unspoilt, pretty fishing village where narrow roads and paths with slate hung cottages run down to a sheltered harbour.

Around the harbour there are signs of its past– Old Pilchard Cellars – reminders of an industry long gone and a reminder of when Port Isaac was a busy coastal port, exporting coal, timber, pottery and of course smuggling. Today selling locally freshly caught lobster, crab and fish. And in the evenings, you'll also find some of the day's catch served up in local restaurants!

Crabbers nestle in the harbour, quality restaurants abound, the "Golden Lion" a traditional cornish pub serves local ales and good pub grub. So why not wander amongst the 18th and 19th century cottages and soak up the atmosphere of this ancient coastal village. Look into the excellent pottery up Church Hill, explore the tiny alleys – one called Squezee- Belly Alley (claimed to be the narrowest street in England). The inshore RLNI lifeboat is based here at "The Platt" which is also the venue once a week during the summer for the local "Floral Dance".

Stock up with the necessities
Port Isaac is the place also to stock up with groceries and supplies. The “Peapod” sells bread and Cornish pasties made on the premises, quiches, cheeses, organic products, delicious cakes and local Cornish wines. They also sell papers. (Get there early for the Sunday papers). A little further up the road is the CO-OP, with daily opening hours from 8am to 10.30pm. They stock just about everything, but most importantly quite a good selection of wines and beers.

TV Series
