Polperro
Packed tightly into a steep valley on either
side of the River Pol, the quaint colour-washed cottages and
twisting streets offer surprises at every turn: the Saxon and Roman
bridges, the famous House on Props, the old Watch House, the fish
quay, and the 16th century house where Dr. Jonathan Couch lived,
naturalist and grandfather of the celebrated writer Sir Arthur
Quiller-Couch.
With its protected inner harbour full of colourful boats. Polperro
is still a working fishing village, although tourism provides the
main source of income. Attractions include a Museum of Smuggling and
a Model Village.
Heritage Coast
The coastline here is part of the 80 mile South Cornwall Heritage
Coast, and from Polperro beautiful walks extend to Talland in the
east or Lansallos in the west, both with beaches and interesting
churches. These and other secluded coves have, over the centuries,
provided ample opportunities for smuggling.
Polperro is a haven for Artists and superb for
fine dining and first class restaurants
