If you are looking for the perfect location for a family holiday or simply an opportunity to wind down and get away from it all for a few days, the historic Cornish
fishing village of
Polperro is the place for you.
Unspoilt by progress, Polperro offers a refreshing and relaxing change from the hectic pace of modern life and yet is located just 25 miles west of Plymouth with it’s mainline train station, airport and superb road connections, making
travel to Polperro easy and convenient.
Situated in a sheltered cliff inlet on the south east coast of Cornwall, Polperro is a Conservation Village surrounded by an area of outstanding natural beauty. There are many breathtaking walks along the cliff paths which form part of the South West Coastal Path - the perfect base for many coastal activities such as walking, bird watching, botany and exploring nearby bays, coves and beaches. Cornwall enjoys short winters and the Polperro climate is mild all year round.
There is lots to do in the village of Polperro - quaint
friendly pubs, good restaurants and cafes serving locally caught seafood and variety of stores including art galleries, antique and gift shops. There is a smuggling museum, a model village and a wealth of historic sites that are both scenic and interesting. There is always something going on in Polperro with live music every weekend and at other times.
Polperro harbour has always been and remains a working fishing port and at high tide you can watch the local boats unload their daily catch and take it to the fish quay on the inner harbour. If you talk nicely to the fishermen, you may even be able to acquire the freshest fish you have ever tasted – caught that day and probably still flapping ! When the fishermen are not out at sea, they can usually be found mending their nets and pots down on the harbour quay – or enjoying a pint in one of the many superb pubs. Quite a number of fishermen are involved in providing the many fishing and boat trips that you can take from the quay at Polperro including trips to Fowey and
Looe.
