Towns and Villages near Port Gaverne

Port Isaac

10 October 2022

You might well recognise some of Port Isaac's winding lanes and its harbour; the port has long been a star of both the big and small screens, most notably in ‘Doc Martin' and ‘Saving Grace'. This is Cornwall at its most quaint with streets so steep and narrow that in many places cars simply don't fit. For a great meal of fresh fish landed at Port Isaac's harbour, the Edge Restaurant is a brilliant choice and somehow those panoramic views out to sea from the tables add to the flavour.

Wadebridge

4 September 2012

Popular among cyclists (Wadebridge sits right on the Camel Trail), Wadebridge also draws many for its unique shops and cafes. The River Camel sweeps majestically through Wadebridge; along its banks, ‘twitchers' can be seen excitedly spotting any number of wading bird varieties, including herons.

Polzeath

Perfect surf, a broad sandy beach and seafood cafes serving fresh local fish – Polzeath is the kind of Cornish seaside village that children dream of. Hire a board and wetsuit and head for the waves, mooch along the cliffpaths and enjoy the rugged north Cornish coastline, shop in the boutique surf stores that line the single street or simply lay out your towel and catch some sun – Polzeath was made for relaxation.
