Minack Theatre, Cornwall. No 64

Gwaryjy Minack in Cornish. The theatre was the brainchild of Rowena Cade, who lived at Minack House overlooking Porthcurno Bay. In 1929, a local village group of players had staged Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream in a nearby meadow, repeating the production the next year. They decided that their next production would be The Tempest and Miss Cade offered the garden of her house as a suitable location, as it was beside the sea. Miss Cade and her gardener made a terrace and rough seating, hauling materials down from the house or up via the winding path from the beach below. In 1932, The Tempestwas performed with the sea as a dramatic backdrop, to great success. Miss Cade resolved to improve the theatre, toiling hard over the course of the winter months each year throughout her life (with the help of Billy Rawlings and Charles Angove) so that others might perform each summer.

In 1944, the theatre was used as a location for the Gainsborough Studios film Love Story, starring Stewart Granger and Margaret Lockwood but inclement weather forced them to retreat to a studio mock-up. In 1955, the first dressing rooms were built. Since 1976 the theatre has been registered as a Charitable Trust and is now run by a local management team. Rowena Cade died on 26 March 1983, at the age of 89.

Nowadays, the theatre is used from June to September for a full summer season of 17 plays, produced by companies from all over the UK and visiting companies from the USA. The theatre is open for visitors throughout the rest of the year. The 75th Anniversary of Minack was celebrated with a production of The Tempest in August 2007, directed by Simon Taylor and performed by the Winchester College Players.

Port Isaac Cornwall No29

The Port Isaac pier was constructed during the reign of Henry VIII. The village's central precinct dates from the Eighteenth and Nineteenth centuries, from a time when its prosperity was tied to local coastal freight and fishing. The port handled cargoes such as coal, wood, stone, ores, limestone, salt, pottery and heavy goods which were conveyed down its narrow streets. Fishermen still work from the Platt, landing their daily catch of fish, crab and lobsters.

The Port Isaac Libeboat station was established in 1869 following the delivery of two lifeboats calledRichard and Sarah. The former boathouse is now the building called the Post Office. In the early 1960s the Royal National Lieboat Institution introduced the Inshore Lifeboat, and in 1967 the Port Isaac Station reopened with a new Class D inshore lifeboat. Since that time, the lifeboat has responded to more than 550 calls, in the process saving more than 140 lives. Today, Port Isaac's crew and shore helpers man the station twenty-four hours a day, 365 days a year, providing full coverage of Cornwall's north 

Despite its isolation the village has had several visits from celebrities. The BBC seriesPoldark (1975-77) used locations in the area; the BBC drama serial The Nightmare Man (1981) was filmed in and around the village, which doubled for a Scottish island and it was a location for the film of Oscar and Lucinda (1997). The local village hall has been decorated by the team of DIY SOS, and to date, four seasons of the ITV seriesDOC Martin have been filmed there although the village has a fictional name of "Portwenn."Saving Grace, a successful comedy film, was filmed in and around the village.

In October 2005, the village was again used for the backdrop to the television production of Rosamunde Pilcher's The Shell Seekers  Filming took place in the village for a week with the production's star,Vanessa Redgrave ,filming many of her scenes in the main street. The filming of the third series is currently taking place.
