Polperro is a small, picture‑perfect fishing village, tucked into a sheltered harbour and surrounded by steep, winding lanes.
Cars are kept outside the centre, giving the village a peaceful, old‑fashioned feel that’s best enjoyed on foot.
The harbour is still at the heart of Polperro, with fishing boats, waterside pubs, and places to sit and watch the tide come and go. The South West Coast Path passes right through the village, leading to clifftop walks and nearby bays, while the narrow streets are lined with cafés, galleries, and small shops. Polperro offers a relaxed way to experience Cornwall’s coastline, with plenty of character and plenty to explore. An artist's dream!
