Two Sundays ago saw the return of  “Doc Martin”, to the 42″ HD tv of Professor Nick.  Apart from being a big Martin Clunes fan, the series has a special place in the heart of the prematurely grey-haired Head of School.

Over the summer, Prof. Nick and family hoofed it down to Port Isaac in North Cornwall, where the series is filmed.  Port Isaac is an unspoilt old fishing village, free of cars but yet full of activity. 

Prof. Nick stayed in the “Slipway Hotel”, which is often in view in the programme as are many other of the vistas seen below.

If you are holidaying in England, Port Isaac is a must to see…….

Above is the slipway down to the water seen nearly every week in the programme.

Below is the view from the bottom of the slipway towards the harbour.

Port Isaac itself is full of narrow and picturesque alleyways, below on the left hand side is the bar featured:

Here is the view from the “School House” which in last week’s episode, seemed to be run by a oddball Headmaster..

Finally, below is The “Slipway Hotel” – Prof.  Nick did not manage to meet resident Doc Martin – they had just finished filming…. – of all the luck.
