Up4 Dawes and Rux Anatra, the owners of Old Europe, have simulated the TV show Doc Martin's
Port Isaac in Second Life. Here are some photos that I took today.

And here are excerpts from an article about the SL
Port Isaac project by
Janey Bracken at
CNN iReport:
Port Isaac used to be a sleepy fishing village in the heart of
North Cornwall, situated in the South West of England. I say ‘used to
be’ a sleepy fishing village because the port is now one of the busiest
locations in Cornwall for tourists, especially during the summer months.
So I’m delighted to tell you that you can miss all the crowds and take a
trip to a virtual version of this unique village without even leaving
your armchair! Up4 Dawes, who owns the spectacular Old Europe sim, has
built a replica of Port Isaac in Second Life. Complete with the high
street, restaurants, shops, hotels and houses as well as a very
realistic looking harbour, this will be sure to attract many virtual
explorers who want to taste a little of what the real Port Isaac is all
about...
Up4 Dawes, has done a brilliant job of
capturing the location. Up4 invites you to “walk around in the harbour
or have a drink at Al and Bert Large's restaurant, walk to the Doc's
surgery, have a dance; Many new activities are planned pertaining to
this wonderful tv series starring Martin Clunes and cast of village
characters..” Who knows, you may meet a Doc Martin avatar on your
virtual travels!! Take a teleport and relax by the virtual Cornish
coast! But watch the seagulls don’t swoop down and steal your ice cream
cones!
