Cornwall on Film

Did you spot the world famous biomes of the Eden Project on the 2002 James Bond epic, Die Another Day? Or how about the picturesque fishing village of Cadgwith in Ladies in Lavender?

Cornwall's distinct landscape has been captured on film in a number of international blockbusters and as more talented directors are both drawn and born here, there's a lot being reeled into Cornish film-making.

Away from the big screen and Cornwall has starred in, and been central to, a range of popular television programmes, one of the most recent being Doc Martin. Now its third series, Doc Martin sees Port Isaac on the North Coast of Cornwall play the fictional town of Portwenn. Martin Clunes stars as the main character and fell in love with Cornwall whilst filming:

"I love working on Doc Martin; being in Cornwall, and being able to work with my wife Philippa, who is the producer. At the end of the day's filming we were able to go back to a beautiful house along the coast from Port Isaac, which has stunning sea views."

Cornwall can currently be seen on screen in the hot new ITV programmes Echo Beach and Moving Wallpaper which were filmed in the Watergate Bay area of Newquay as well as Looe. Catch it now on Friday nights on ITV!
