Polperro Cornwall Map

About Polperro

Polperro, a Cornish jewel, spills down to its harbour with a captivating embrace of stone and sea. It lies 5.3 km west-south-west of Looe (from Looe: bearing 242°T, OS grid SX 207 509), and is situated south-west of Carey Park village. The village's narrow lanes, worn smooth by centuries of footsteps and cartwheels, wind between higgledy-piggledy cottages that seem to lean into one another for company, their slate roofs catching the soft, diffused light of the Cornish coast. Down at the harbour, where the fishing boats bob with a gentle, persistent rhythm, the air carries a briny tang, a constant reminder of Polperro's enduring connection to the ocean and the hardy souls who have drawn their livelihood from its depths. The steep hillsides flanking the village, once cultivated, now offer a verdant backdrop, their slopes etched with the ghosts of agricultural endeavour.
