In our wanderings today we visited Port Isaac, a typical Cornish fishing village that is also where Doc Martin (ABC) is filmed. The photo shows me outside the Doc's rooms.
It was a very cute little village, small fishing boats in the little bay, lots of eateries with local produce.
We also visited Padstow, which is where Rick Stein had his first restaurant. He now has 3 places here, a cafe where his original place was, a shop selling heaps of merchandise and now a rather large seafood restaurant on the actual waterfront.
Our original plan was to eat at Stein's but at £35 plus for a main course we decided to forego. We tried something a little less excessive and bought handmade traditional Cornish Pasties at the bakery and they we just perfect.
We also got in a bit of history at Launceston, walking thru the old Norman castle and keep.
Time for a rest!
Cheers
Gen
