Порт-Айзек: Живописная деревня Корнуолла

A village in Cornwall, England

Port Isaac is a small fishing village on the Atlantic coast of north Cornwall, England, in the United Kingdom. The nearest towns are Wadebridge and Camelford, each ten miles (16 km) away. A nearby hamlet, Port Gaverne, is sometimes considered to be part of Port Isaac. The meaning of the village's Cornish name, Porthysek, is "corn port", indicating a trade in corn from the arable inland district. From 2004 to 2022, the village served as the backdrop to the ITV television series Doc Martin. It also is home to the sea shanty singing group Fisherman's Friends.

The origins of Port Isaac are likely Celtic and the development of the town can be roughly divided into three phases. Through the Middle Ages and up to the coming of the railways, Port Isaac was a thriving port serving the area inland. During the Tudor period the harbour was dredged, a good illustration of its importance. Once goods from locations further inland were better served by the North Cornwall Railway, the economy of the port relied on pilchard fishing, probably a centuries old industry. However the pilchard shoals began to decline, and after World War I tourism became the mainstay of the economy. The village centre dates from the 18th and 19th centuries, from a time when its prosperity was tied to local coastal freight and fishing. Apart from the corn that gave the town its name, Fishermen still work from the Platt, landing their catches of fish, crab and lobsters. The historic core of the village was designated a Conservation Area in 1971 and North Cornwall District Council reviewed this in 2008 with the endorsement of a detailed Port Isaac Conservation Area Appraisal document and a related Conservation Area Management Plan. The village has around 90 listed buildings (all Grade II).

A Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) lifeboat station was opened at Port Isaac in 1869. The Richard and Sarah was kept in a boat house on Fore Street, from where it had to be taken through the narrow streets of the village on a carriage to be launched. A new lifeboat station was built in 1927 next to the beach but this closed in 1933. An Inshore Lifeboat has been stationed at Port Isaac from 1967. Since 1993 it has been kept in the lifeboat station built in 1927; the original lifeboat station is now a shop. Port Isaac's lifeboat has been the D class Copeland Bell since 2009.

The first link from Port Isaac to the railways was started by John Prout, who ran a service to Bodmin Road station, more than 10 mile (16 km) distant, from 1861. The railways came much closer when the North Cornwall Railway opened the section from Delabole to Wadebridge in 1895, which included a station at Port Isaac Road 4 mile (6 km) from the village. Produce from the area, including fish, flowers and fruit, was transported through the steep and narrow lanes to the station, with 150 tons of fish being transported by cart for onward shipment in 1897. Newquay Cornwall Airport, located in Newquay, is the closest airport to the village. In 2016, a local taxi service – Port Isaac Shuttle Service – was asked to change the way that it displayed its name after Cornwall Council deemed it offended good taste.

Port Isaac is located on the South West Coast Path, and apart from people walking the 630 mile (1014 km) long National Trail there are shorter walks in the area using this path as part of their route. There is an alley in Port Isaac, known as Temple Bar, that is particularly narrow. In the 1978 edition of Guinness Book of Records, it was dubbed the world's narrowest thoroughfare. Locals refer to it as Squeeze ee belly Alley.

The church of St Peter was built as a chapel of ease in the parish of St Endellion in 1882–84; Port Isaac became a separate parish in 1913, though more recently it has returned to St Endellion parish. The church is built of granite and stone and the style adopted was Early English. The village has had three Nonconformist places of worship: the oldest was a Quaker meeting house, 1806; from 1832 it was used by the Baptists but was converted to a dwelling house in 1871. The United Methodist chapel (1846) and the Wesleyan Methodist chapel are both now closed. The nearest Roman Catholic church is in Tintagel.

Cornish wrestling tournaments, for prizes, were held in Port Isaac at the football field.
