Doc Martin is filmed in Port Isaac on the North Cornwall coast. I am sure Janey will be along to let you know if her pictures are of Port Isaac.

You guys have to learn to love your own country..I have lived in different country s but have never meet so many people who sooo much dislike their own country.
We will move in summer 2011 from London to Somerset and I cant wait:D

I love it thats why I returned, you are right we do not sing its praises enough! mind you the UK press do not help but do not get me started! if one thing the Kiwis taught me is they are always postive never get down or in the doldrums! We BRits could learn a lot from that perhaps we need to send a few journalists over there for a while!:rofl:
