Port Isaac, in north Cornwall, has been a fishing village since the early 14th century. From the Middle Ages until the middle of the 19th century, it was also a busy harbour handling various imports and exports, including coal, timber, pottery and Delabole slate. The Port’s name derives from the Cornish Porth Izzick, meaning 'Corn Port'. Its narrow, winding streets are lined with old, white-washed cottages and traditional granite slate-fronted Cornish houses, many of which are listed for their architectural or historical importance.
