Polperro‘s working harbour supports a small fishing fleet, while the sheltered waters beyond the harbour provide a temporary haven for visiting yachts. Polperro is one of the most picturesque coastal villages in Cornwall with its deep sided valleys and a myriad of colour washed cottages. The River Pol runs centrally down through the village straddled by a variety of bridges and cottages. Beautiful Polperro with its interesting shops, art gallery, pubs and restaurants is ideally situated as a starting point for exploring the whole of Cornwall. Close to home, the surrounding coastal towns of Fowey and Looe and attractions such as Eden Project, with its huge tropical ‘biome’ glass houses, or the amazing ‘Lost Gardens of Heligan’ are just waiting to be explored. There are several National Trust locations in Cornwall. Lanhydrock House and Antony House for example offer great days out. Of course, for the hikers amongst you, there are miles of stunning coastal paths to explore!
