Film Locations
Cornwall is often used for filming TV series and films, many of them can be reached easily from Trekara Cottage.
Doc Martin was based in Port Issac and the surrounding area, as was the film Fishermen Friends.
Game of Thrones and The House of Dragon had scenes shot around Holywell Bay and the North Cornwall coast.
Poldark was extensively shot along the North Cornwall coast and the port of Charlestown.
German TV ZDF can often be found around Cornwall filming Rosamunde Pilcher novels and have used Prideaux Place, just down the road, several times.
The children's series Malory Towers uses the tidal swimming pool in Trevone and if lucky you may even see the film crew and the girls.
Rick Stein's Cornwall is filled with locations to visit, some local and some perhaps an hour's drive away.
