Now for a visit to the Doc

May 24 - after we left Tintagel, a visit to the Doc was in order.  Doc Martin that is!

One our favourite english programs is Doc Martin and as we were only about 10 miles away from where it is filmed, we decided to take a trip there.  The village of Port Isaac is a stand in for the fictional village of "Portwenn".  So off again we headed again down narrow hedge-lined roadways, find a car park and take a walk along the coast to the townsite.
