The new glass bridge to the castle makes the views even better (and the walk a lot easier!). A must visit for everyone interested interested in the mythical King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. The views are amazing, don’t forget tickets need to be pre-booked during busy periods.

A favourite place to visit; a busy fish village and tourist destination with interesting craft shops, cafes and restaurants. At low tide there are rock pools and a long beach to explore. Fish & chips on the beach listening to The Fishermen's Friends is an absolute treat!
If you don’t fancy the challenging walk to Port Issac it’s a short drive, follow the signs to Port Gaverne and then up the hill to the carpark on the right. From there it’s only a 5 minute walk down into the village. The village is steep, narrow and winding, few people drive into it twice.
