Upvotes for Doc Martin!

Tzios · 2012-10-04T20:20:55+00:00

Clearly photoshopped, it's never that sunny here.

TdashTill · 2012-10-04T19:32:23+00:00

This looks like a Settlers of Catan game board.

futuramadog · 2012-10-04T17:35:25+00:00

Fixed

Naeddyr · 2012-10-04T18:02:29+00:00

I've seen maybe two or three episodes of Doc Martin, yet I guessed (right) that it must have been shot there.

Pfhred · 2012-10-04T18:44:52+00:00

Shit be picturesque yo.

deja-vu-comment · 2012-10-04T17:31:03+00:00

This is Civ V

.

el_Vercoe · 2012-10-04T20:01:51+00:00

CORNWALL, WOO!

levilarrington · 2012-10-04T19:07:20+00:00

I suffer from being an American and I have to admit any time I see pictures like this of England I'm always blown away that what seems like such a small country could still have that much green left given a major population.

slipszenko · 2012-10-04T21:17:49+00:00

No Hopers, Jokers & Rogues by Port Isaac's Fisherman's Friends

FMERCURY · 2012-10-04T22:17:45+00:00

This royal throne of kings, this sceptred isle,

This earth of majesty, this seat of Mars,

This other Eden, demi-paradise,

This fortress built by Nature for herself

Against infection and the hand of war,

This happy breed of men, this little world,

This precious stone set in the silver sea,

Which serves it in the office of a wall

Or as a moat defensive to a house,

Against the envy of less happier lands,

This blessed plot, this earth, this realm, this England.

Richard II: Act II, Scene I

I'm imagining a classic British sitcom kind of scenario in this town, where all the townspeople are obnoxiously cheerful and friendly. Except for one guy living in that lone house on the hill on the right side of the bay, who everybody in town refers to as "Grumpy Old Edward".

deepobedience · 2012-10-04T21:26:01+00:00

So British. Miles of space all around: Still build terraced houses.

pacman983 · 2012-10-04T19:00:34+00:00

Spent a wonderful week in this town with friends of the family while the filmed "Doc Martin". What an amazing place.

Catch--22 · 2012-10-04T19:43:33+00:00

I love the patchwork-quilt look of English landscapes. Cornwall, Lake District, The Dales, and the South Downs being my favourites.

LT_Sealice · 2012-10-04T21:34:36+00:00

This looks like the town from Doc Martin.

tiltedsun · 2012-10-04T22:02:27+00:00

As seen in the show Doc Martin, only they jus show the very downtown, local bits near the harbor. I would very much like to go there one day. Other shows have been shot there as well, I'm told?

Yogpod · 2012-10-04T22:26:55+00:00

Looks like Civilization 5

Visited here in May, lovely place.

rickanddianne · 2012-10-04T18:53:42+00:00

Beautiful, thanks for posting.

moranimal · 2012-10-04T18:55:36+00:00

Set your workers to automated, they aren't upgrading your tiles.

eninety2 · 2012-10-04T19:42:27+00:00

Anyone else see a ninja turtle in the thumbnail?

yeropinionman · 2012-10-04T19:43:09+00:00

TIL England is a turtle

Bartleby1955 · 2012-10-04T20:10:59+00:00

don't see many boats!

tenkadaiichi · 2012-10-04T20:16:45+00:00

There's a nice pub to the left of the dock a couple blocks up.

abbAtheist · 2012-10-04T20:17:48+00:00

Farms. Farms everywhere.

Italian_Barrel_Roll · 2012-10-04T20:20:51+00:00

Dude, your productivity is going to be shit if you build all farms and no mines.

zack10house · 2012-10-04T20:22:17+00:00

This looks like a cake. I want it.

theartiechair · 2012-10-04T20:27:35+00:00

Seems like there's absolutely no shade there.

Colinizhere8 · 2012-10-04T20:31:00+00:00

Looks like something from civ 5

shif · 2012-10-04T20:35:02+00:00

praven?

summiter · 2012-10-04T20:47:45+00:00

Tap that coast for blue mana

Tom_Brady_is_God · 2012-10-04T20:50:25+00:00

Idk why...but it looks delicious

KojaKhan · 2012-10-04T20:52:28+00:00

Anyone else feel like you could just sleep on all of it

Game_Fortress · 2012-10-04T20:53:52+00:00

Ok there is so much saturation the water looks like frosting.

ogamii · 2012-10-04T20:54:16+00:00

I spent 30 minutes looking at this little town on Google street view once.

sbtrkt · 2012-10-04T20:55:12+00:00

Beautiful place, was there in Feb this year.

musicalmaniac · 2012-10-04T20:57:31+00:00

Doc Martin?

ctmay · 2012-10-04T20:58:11+00:00

I would imagine it's impossible to get a ball to stay stationary anywhere in that area.

Ebers · 2012-10-04T21:00:17+00:00

A green and pleasant land, indeed.

Christian_Bennett · 2012-10-04T21:06:04+00:00

I think everyone means Civ V looks like Port Isaac...

shovelface88 · 2012-10-04T21:10:08+00:00

I want to go to there

eXePyrowolf · 2012-10-04T21:13:29+00:00

My mum has visited here, she is also a big fan of Doc Martin. But lovely picture!

susarejap · 2012-10-04T21:13:51+00:00

How much does a house or apartment cost there? I want to buy one!

JinxThunderball · 2012-10-04T21:16:25+00:00

Wow, opened that bitch up in google streetview, some serious tide going on there.

KhabaLox · 2012-10-04T21:18:31+00:00

For some reason I read this as "Poor Isaac, England" and thought, "Why? What's wrong with it? It looks pretty nice to me."

yourpenisinmyhand · 2012-10-04T21:18:39+00:00

Fake!!!! I can tell by the voxels.

Juice_Tin · 2012-10-04T21:21:38+00:00

This looks like pieces of felt stitched together. Its coo

boppie · 2012-10-04T21:27:09+00:00

Time for Sim City again!

g0aky · 2012-10-04T21:27:40+00:00

it looks like a delicious cake

ProLikeThis · 2012-10-04T21:29:45+00:00

it is a great picture.... It's just a shame its like that one day a year

Dankycheese · 2012-10-04T21:34:42+00:00

Isn't there a subreddit for these pics?

llcbdavis · 2012-10-04T21:39:25+00:00

this would be a great pattern for a quilt

Dr__Reddit · 2012-10-04T21:40:49+00:00

I can't quite put my finger on why this looks so surreal. Could a photo expert help me out on this one? reminds me of tilt shift almost.

Nowimnotalurker · 2012-10-04T21:43:37+00:00

reopst :(

Pintofpablo · 2012-10-04T21:51:08+00:00

I stayed here for a week

Bowens1993 · 2012-10-04T21:53:51+00:00

Civ 6 is looking good.

peonage · 2012-10-04T21:55:40+00:00

It's pictures like these that make me want to visit England so bad!

Snippets · 2012-10-04T21:55:45+00:00

I'll take square F8 please

josephhhedward · 2012-10-04T21:58:32+00:00

I was here about a month ago, and I can verify that it's almost as spectacular at ground level as it is from above

Watersleet · 2012-10-04T22:07:02+00:00

Looks like some kind of chocolate mint cake. England, why are you so delicious?

VStheUNIVERSE · 2012-10-04T22:16:21+00:00

Welp, back to Minecraft I go.

hazbek · 2012-10-04T22:16:55+00:00

Looks so... Smooth. Almost like marzipan! Haha.

enginedriver · 2012-10-04T22:19:26+00:00

There are lots of isaacs in Cornwall, Devon and south Wales. We're the coolest or so my mum tells me

jds30 · 2012-10-04T22:24:16+00:00

Awesome! And the natural curvature of the landscape allows for the drunk's piss to run into the ocean. Doesn't make for a good beach destination though.

ceruleanpineapple · 2012-10-04T22:33:50+00:00

Don't know why, but the closest bit of land there reminds me of a cheeseburger.

blAke139 · 2012-10-04T22:34:24+00:00

This is so over-saturated, I love it!

Meanest_Phlebotomist · 2012-10-04T22:34:41+00:00

One thing that's always struck me about England is that, despite everything being very green, there are so very few trees. I guess that's what a thousand years of civilization does.

tomius · 2012-10-04T22:38:28+00:00

Remined me of Plunder Island from Monkey 3.

It's not that similar, but it's got that something...

jaxspider · 2012-10-04T22:38:45+00:00

If this isn't /r/EarthPorn I don't know what is.

GBERGEN · 2012-10-04T22:40:12+00:00

As someone from Saskatchewan I say this is far to bumpy of a landscape.

ruthi · 2012-10-04T22:40:52+00:00

As someone who is named Isaac...

elapid · 2012-10-04T22:43:12+00:00

Shameless plug for /r/Cornwall

danielgeorge1984 · 2012-10-04T22:46:55+00:00

Give it 20 years and property prices might drop somewhat.

rhayke · 2012-10-04T22:53:27+00:00

needs more trading posts!!!

pompey606 · 2012-10-04T22:58:39+00:00

this should be white harbour in Game of thrones

Because fuck you and now you'll see it every time you look at the picture

jmcrazy · 2012-10-04T23:35:07+00:00

Looks like burger patties with green cheese slices.

isaactology · 2012-10-04T23:42:38+00:00

Some day I will live here and rule the town.

falafelcakes · 2012-10-04T23:48:21+00:00

I'll trade you brick for wool!

userjoe9066 · 2012-10-04T23:53:41+00:00

You see this and it just makes you marvel at the real beauty of the world. I mean we're so wrapped up in our own personal vices and insignificant bullshit(myself included), and you take a look at this picture and just can't help be mystified by the true beauty of the earth. It's fucking amazing.

sparticusfinch · 2012-10-04T23:59:13+00:00

hold on here, everyone knows there's no sunshine in england

Timothyc1985 · 2012-10-05T00:00:31+00:00

Use to holiday here as a family.... Incredibly happy it is on the front page!

HungarianFever · 2012-10-05T00:11:40+00:00

Looks like Civ. 5

psych00range · 2012-10-05T01:31:39+00:00

Mwindarou · 2012-10-05T03:29:25+00:00

seriously thought this was a high res/HQ zoomed in image of Civ V or something.

wf4l192 · 2012-10-05T03:53:51+00:00

r/earthporn or even r/cityporn would be appropriate as well

suicdekng · 2012-10-05T03:58:30+00:00

Makes me think of the "Stuff You Should Know" fractals podcast.

dmvazli · 2012-10-05T04:06:14+00:00

it looks edible like I could slice a price of it and it would be chocolate cake underneath

Mr_Godfree · 2012-10-05T04:13:04+00:00

civ V?

ebenezer-splooge · 2012-10-05T04:34:50+00:00

wow england, you claim to be so earth friendly and green, yet you completely burnt out those brown patches of land. good luck growing crops there this year

commodore-69 · 2012-10-05T05:40:20+00:00

I don't know why but the best word to describe what I'm looking at is plump

ziggtree187 · 2012-10-05T06:10:08+00:00

That's dope

Gyaruson · 2012-10-05T06:48:34+00:00

Looks like real life Civ 5.

KHWD · 2012-10-05T06:56:16+00:00

I'm from Cornwall. There are little places like this all over the county.

Just stay away from places like Redruth and Camborne unless you want stitches.

eshra14 · 2012-10-05T07:37:00+00:00

wooow

deadbabiesrofl · 2012-10-05T07:42:13+00:00

As an Isaac I can verify that we are generally this beautiful.
