A truly remarkable church, take time out to visit, yes a steep hill to climb out of Port Isaac, Church Hill or as we call it heart attack hill and just following the road turning left at the T junction. From the outside it may look shut but push open the front door, it is heavy, so give it a big push and enter. So peaceful and take a moment to reflect in the peace and quiet or light a candle for those lost ones. Look upwards to see the wonderful roof timbers and marvel at curved one of the walls is! Wander round and look at the dates on the tombs inside and outside to get a glimpse of the history of the place. They do hold events here, a current brochure list forthcoming events and workshops, they do say the acoustics there are very good.

The cakes were nice, the coffee was pretty good but the ambience was wonderful. Such a lovely place to spend a little time. It was light and airy - we were pretty toasty next to the fire. Lovely to wonder round the crafts afterwards.

Well worth a visit, lovely little place, all the sites from Doc Martin TV series, fishmonger well worth a visit as was the gift shop, only bad point was the 20p charge for each toilet, best to park at large carpark at top of hill, not too bad walking down but a bit of a hike getting back up.
