Polperro is a village and fishing port originally belonging to the ancient Raphael Manor mentioned in the Doomsday
Book. Situated on the River Pol, four miles west of the major resort of Looe and 25 miles west of the major city and port
of Plymouth, it has a picturesque fishing harbour lined with tightly packed houses which make it a popular tourist
location in the summer months.
The village retains almost all of its 17th Century architectural charm and has been a working fishing port
since the 13th Century. This peaceful fishing cove was once a thriving centre for the area's smuggling.
Today, in cellars where furtive smugglers once dodged the Customs Officer's muskets, you can see
displays of local crafts and fishermen's smocks, or dine in style at one of Polperro's excellent restaurants.
Fishing trips or pleasure cruises can be arranged from the quayside, or one can take the cliff path to explore the
secluded smuggling coves of Talland and Lantivet Bay. With its protected inner harbour full of colourful boats
packed tightly into a steep valley on either side of the River Pol, the quaint colour-washed cottages and twisting
streets, Polperro offers 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, naturalist and grandfather of the
celebrated writer Sir Arthur Quiller-Couch, once lived.
The village enjoys the benefit of a local primary school, restaurants, pubs and shops including a Post Office,
bakery and a general store. The charm of the village is protected by its status as a
conservation area, and the harbour is designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
