| Thanks to Bev Teague for discovering this location! It's a farmhouse along a road just south of Boscastle. |

| Martin is seated at an outdoor cafe and tries to order pasta, and then soup, and finally chili, but the server insists that they are out of everything he attempts to order. This outdoor cafe is the terrace at the Slipway Hotel. The terrace sits right at the intersection of Fore Street and Church Hill and overlooks The Platt and the harbour. |

| Martin tries to fill his car with petrol, but is told they are out. This station is on New Road at the top of the village. Note that in the screenshot to the left you can see the Headlands Hotel in the distance. This now closed hotel was used as a location several times, notably as Radio Portwenn in Series 1 and The Wilson Hotel in Series 3. The hotel is actually located on the other side of the harbour at Port Gaverne. |

| I've noticed that the recent pictures of the petrol station show the pumps have been removed. It now appears to be just an auto repair facility (picture on the right). |

| Martin finally tries to get rid of the dog by throwing a stick over the cliff, hoping that the dog will run after it, but that fails when the dog just sits down in the grass and stares at him. Just as he realizes his plan hasn't worked, he's interruped by Elaine's dad and his fiancé going for a stroll. He embarrassingly tosses away the additional sticks. This scene takes place at the top of the hill overlooking the harbour. The area is called "Lobber Point" and is accessed by climbing a steep set of stairs at the top of Roscarrock Hill. This open area has been used as a location in the show several times. |

| Martin, carrying a wrapped fish, comes walking out of the doorway next to The Mote - this doorway will often be used as the door to the local pub. Mark is standing on The Platt, in front of the Mote, drinking a pint and asks Martin to join him, but Martin refuses and walks away. |

| As Martin is walking past The Platt, he sees Bobby Richardson kicking around a football with his mates and asks if he is feeling better. |

As Martin is driving back from Aunt Joan's farm he discovers that the dog somehow got back into his car and is now headed back to Portwenn with him. You can see from his position on the road that he is on the road that runs between Port Isaac and the farm and Port Isaac is visible in the distance. |

| Louisa runs into Aunt Joan at the beach where they have both parked their cars. Louisa complains to Joan about Martin's treatment of Roger, but Joan reminds Louisa that she was on the committee that appointed him. |

| You can see the wall of the Fish Cellar behind Joan and Louisa |

| The beach used to be a main parking area for the village, but you had to make sure to move your car before high tide (which happens twice a day). The picture below shows the consequences if you didn't make it in time (this also happened to Ross in S1E1 of Doc Martin). In 2010, the Port Isaac Council built a new car park at the top of the village and closed the beach to parking. The only exceptions now are license holders who have been granted special permission. |

| Both the exterior and the interior scenes for this wedding were filmed in St Knet's Church in Lesnewth, which is east of Boscastle. |

| It's pretty obvious that they used the interior of this farmhouse in the filming. As Martin comes through the front door, you can see the small square window right next to the door and glimpses of the white painted stairwell right across from the door. And then, halfway up the stairs there is a partial view of a large window. In the Street View below, see the circles around the window next to the door and the window in the stairwell on the right side of the home. |
| . |
| It looks as if the window in Bobby's room might be the window circled above on the left side of the house. |
| . |
| The two small windows flanking the fireplace in the kitchen match the windows on the back of the house. Notice the chimney above that would lead down to the fireplace. |
