Before You Set Off
Before You Set Off
Before you set off on your awesome adventure to explore Port Isaac (Porthysek), there are a few things you need to know...
Port Isaac is a fascinating, unspoilt ancient fishing village, full of hidden nooks, narrow passageways and characterful crannies. It also plays host to some captivating events through the year - some of which may cause access restrictions to some of the clues on the Trail, so we strongly suggest checking the fantastic events in Port Isaac's calendar before setting off!
Unfortunately, the route isn’t friendly for wheelchair users or pushchairs, due to steep hills some steps and narrow roads with no pavements. The surfaces can also be very slippery after heavy rain, so suitable footwear is strongly recommended.
Bring your four-legged friends along! This Trail route is suitable for dogs, but they may need to be on leads.
The best long-stay pay and display car park is Port Isaac's Main Car Park (PL29 3TR), which is just off the main B3267 road into the village, which is right next to the starting point of the Trail. There is also an alternative Council run car park at New Road, (PL293SB) but at peak times during the year this is often full. If you do decide to use this car park, you will need to walk back to the Main Car Park to begin your Trail.
There are public toilets available at the Main Car Park at the beginning and end of the Trail (may incur a small charge), as well as at a mid-point in the village and again towards the end, so the village is well catered for on that front! The route passes several shops, pubs, cafes, and restaurants along the way (seasonal opening hours may apply), so again, you have plenty of chances to stock up on supplies or enjoy the wide range of facilities on offer.
Looking for more things to do in Port Isaac? Why not make a day of it and book yourselves onto the Doc Martin Tour, or take a peek inside Cliffside Gallery and Port Isaac Pottery.
