Visit Port Isaac and the surrounding villages and stay in bed & breakfast accommodation:
Port Isaac, Cornwall, is the most Mediterranean of the Cornish north-coast villages, all its old part compressed into an exceedingly steep combe with white-washed walls bulging precariously, staircases up to front doors, alleys bridged by first stories, crooked slate and cement-grouted roofs. All converges on the harbour, which is the whole narrow inlet formed by cliffs on two sides, the beach on a third, with a man-made breakwater across the mouth. You do not immediately feel the place lives on tourists. A long, finely stoned warehouse by the harbour is the headquarters of the local shell fishermen.
About 2 miles West at the head of a tiny, curved, secret inlet is Portquin, a fishing hamlet till the occasion when in the last century many of its men were drowned. Now it Consists of about four old-grey-brown stone cottages, intelligently done up, and about the same number in ruins. It is beautiful, with no new building near it. On the headland West of it is a folly, a sort of dwarf castle built in about 1830, called Doyden Castle. The National Trust owns it and lets it for holidays.
