Port Isaac is a tiny angling town on the Atlantic coastline of north Cornwall, England, UK. The closest towns are Wadebridge and Camelford, both ten miles away. Port Gaverne, commonly misinterpreted to be part of Port Isaac, is a neighboring community that has its very own history. The meaning of the Cornish name is "corn port", showing a sell corn from the arable inland district. Because the 1980s, the village has acted as backdrop to various tv manufacturings, consisting of the ITV collection Doc Martin, and also is house to the group Fisherman's Friends, sea-shanty vocalists. Port Isaac's pier was created during the reign of Henry VIII. A 1937 background stated, "... Tudor pier as well as breakwater have actually now accepted a solid new sea-wall balanced by an arm on the contrary side of the cove, and also we do not question that the anglers sleep more soundly in their beds on rainy nights." The town centre dates from the 18th as well as 19th centuries, from a time when its success was tied to regional seaside products and angling. The port took care of freights of coal, timber, rock, ores, sedimentary rock, salt, ceramic as well as heavy goods which were conveyed along its narrow streets. Little coastal cruising vessels were constructed below Roscarrock Hill. The pilchard fishery started here before the 16th century and also in 1850 there were 49 signed up fishing boats as well as four fish storages. Anglers still [when?] work from the Platt, landing their catches of fish, crab and lobsters. The historical core of the village was assigned a Sanctuary in 1971 as well as North Cornwall District Council reviewed this in 2008 with the recommendation of an in-depth Port Isaac Sanctuary Evaluation document and a related Sanctuary Monitoring Plan. The town has around 90 Provided buildings (all Grade II).
