THE TRIGG As you may have guessed this is a traditional Cornish name. The hundred of Trigg (also known as Triggshire) was an ancient hundred of Cornwall. It was situated in the North of Cornwall, and covered Wadebridge and Bodmin, along with Bodmin Moor. A hundred is an administrative division, frequently used in Europe and the West, which historically was used to divide a larger region into smaller geographical units. The name is derived from the number hundred (hundred: Ten 10s). In 1841 there were nine hundreds of Cornwall: East, Kerrier, Lesneweth, Penwith, Powder, Pydar, Stratton, Trigg and West. The shire (A former administrative district of England, equivalent to a county) suffix has been attached to several of these, notably Powdershire and Triggshire, and East and West appear to be divisions of Wivelshire. Trigg needless to say administered Port Isaac.

Port Isaac and the Local Area

Amenities include the local pub (The Golden Lion), 10 metres from your gate, the local bakers, 20 metres, the Post Office (papers, etc) 70 metres. 'The Gallery' (where the pictures on the wall of the flat were painted) 50 metres. Then there's the beach, just over the wall opposite the flat and a minutes walk - if that. There's The Old School Hotel and Restaurant next to the Post Office, The Mote Restaurant, The Harbour Café/Restaurant, The Slipway Hotel & Restaurant and The Old Pharmacy Fish & Chip Shop. At the top of the village there's The Edge Restaurant & Wine Bar and The Shipwrights Pub.

The bottom of the village is 15th century, with newer buildings having been built the further 'up' the village you go.

There is easy access North and South to the Southwest Coastal Footpath, with a good 6 and a half mile (strenuous) walk around Port Isaac Bay and up to Trebarwith Strand.

To the South it's about the same distance (less strenuous) to Polzeath, then on to Daymer Bay, Rock (Sailing Club) and across the Camel Estuary to Padstow (the home of Rick Steins 'Seafood Restaurant'). Other walks inland can take you along the valley to St. Endellion and its interesting old church or up to Trelights, to the Longcross Hotel where they have a 'Victorian Garden' and great Cream Teas! John a local fisherman, runs 'Winnie The Pooh' (a boat!) and regularly takes parties out fishing in to the bay. He also owns the local aquarium, which has touch pools and two or three large tanks all showing the fish, eels and shellfish you're likely to catch, eat or see around Port Isaac during your stay.

By now you'll be aware that in recent years Port Isaac has been used for a great deal of television & 'big screen' films. These include Poldark, Nightmare Man, Saving Grace, Doc Martin and The Shell Seekers.

The village is a quiet haven following a hectic day out, perhaps after surfing at Polzeath in the summer and in the winter a warm bolt hole after a brisk cliff walk.

Throughout the summer months the local men's folksingers (Fisherman's Friends) perform on The Platt outside The Mote Restaurant and every Thursday evening in the same place, the St. Breward Silver Band also play, finishing each performance with the 'Helston Floral Dance' up through the village and back down again.

You'll always find a warm welcome in the village, no matter where you stay and once you've stayed you'll be back again……'dreckly', as we say!
