About Polperro

Polperro occupies a dramatic cleft in Cornwall's coast where ancient fishing boats still work from a postcard-perfect harbour. The A387 from Looe provides the main route, though the final approach demands patience with single-track lanes. From Plymouth, follow the A38 west before turning onto the A387 near Trerulefoot. The village has banned cars from its historic centre for decades, requiring visitors to park above and walk down the steep cobbled streets to the working harbour.
