Polperro
As you reach the village of Polperro you
realise that you are somewhere very special. A pretty
Cornish fishing village located on the Cornish
Riviera
coast just 26 miles from Plymouth, virtually unspoiled
by time. Surrounded by the natural beauty of the rugged
coast and marine blue sea, a fairy tale setting for the
perfect holiday.Polperro has it
all. A gentle climate, quaint friendly pubs, fine
restaurants serving locally caught seafood, a variety of
individual shops including art galleries, antique and
gift shops, a smuggling museum, model village and some
interesting historical sites.
 Activities
abound for the entire family - you can hire a fishing
boat and try your hand at catching some fresh mackerel
for your evening meal, or just pack a picnic basket and
head out along the beautiful Cornish coastal paths.
Polperro has a sandy beach for
children to enjoy, a large shallow rock pool to paddle
in called Maids Pool by the locals, rocky coves to
explore and Chapel Pool - an inviting rock pool big
enough to swim in - which appears as the tide recedes
each day.
Or if its total relaxation you’re
after, simply sit and watch time pass by as the boats
gently bob up and down in the picturesque harbour.
Polperro is well placed for exploring
other parts of Cornwall. The Eden Project is only 20
minutes away while Tintagel Castle (the legendary
birthplace of King Arthur), Plymouth Aquarium, Bodmin
Moor, The Lost Gardens of Heligan and The Shipwreck and
Heritage Centre are also within easy reach. |
