Polperro is a quintessential Cornish fishing village nestled in a steep valley, just a few miles from Looe. Its narrow, winding streets are closed to cars, encouraging leisurely exploration. Whitewashed cottages, art galleries, and seafood restaurants cluster around the working harbour, where fishing boats bob in the water. The village also has a heritage museum and a smuggler's history. It's a photographer's dream, with every corner offering a postcard-worthy view.

  • Browse independent galleries and craft shops in the old fish cellars
