So, I see. We were only there for a 4 day break. However, I used to go Port Isaac to Roscarrock Manor in the mid 1960s for holidays with my parents. Near Port Isaac…. Took 26 hours to drive down from Scotland, as no M1!!!
Sadly Port Isaac is now Dr Marten famous and bursting with location-spotting ITV fans at this time of year. It’s a little quieter just north of Boscastle thankfully.
Driving down on A roads from Scotland is a special kind of dedication bordering on madness… It probably only takes 26 hours now if it’s a Bank Holiday weekend. 😉

That’s why we didn’t go to PI. Wanted to preserve my memories as it was.
