This village also boasts beautiful walking trails, shops, and pubs.
In England, in the territory of Cornwall, there is a fishing village that wins the hearts of tourists with its historic cobblestone streets, a magnificent tidal pool and a cozy sandy beach. A feature of this place is that the village is prohibited from the movement of cars, writes Express.
This is about Polperro, which, according to the 2021 census, has a population of about 572 people.
The village’s narrow, cobblestone streets are not accessible to cars, so drivers must park their vehicles in the main parking lot or in nearby areas and then walk or take a bus to reach the village.
Entertainment in Polperro
This charming village offers a variety of attractions, from quirky local shops and museums to a rich history and vibrant cultural scene.
Be sure to visit the Polperro Harbour Heritage Museum, which highlights the village’s rich history of smuggling and fishing traditions. Another attraction worth visiting is the Polperro Foundation for the Arts, a charity dedicated to supporting and showcasing local creative talent. They have a gallery in the Polperro Village Council, where they exhibit the works of their members.
The publication also recommends visiting beer establishments such as The Three Pilchards and Blue Peter Inn, where you can enjoy delicious food and a refreshing beer or glass of wine.
In addition, the coast around Polperro offers many opportunities, from swimming in the Victorian Chapel Rock Tidal Pool to exploring the rocky shores and hidden coves that are scattered along the beach.
At the same time, tourists can also explore the South-West Coast for charming walks with panoramic views.
“This coastal route, a true paradise for walkers, offers magnificent views of the ocean and surrounding countryside, winding past dramatic cliffs, spectacular scenery and secluded sandy stretches throughout its entire length,” Express describes.
Travel reviews of the village
One user wrote on Tripadvisor:
“A unique little Cornish village with tiny passages between ancient houses. It feels like I’ve gone back in time. It’s a charming little harbor, but unfortunately there are very few fishing boats left. Several beautiful shops selling handmade goods.”
In turn, another tourist shared:
“We stayed in Polperro during our trip to Cornwall, and it was a good choice. It’s quiet, and there are some very scenic walks around. It’s like a mini-Venice. There are charming little shops, galleries, and the Blue Peter Inn and Three Pilchards are bustling with good food, drinks, and pleasant company. There’s also live music on weekends. The people here are friendly and relaxed.”
Another guest described the charming village as follows:
“It’s a short walk from the car park to the town, but it’s worth it when you get there, with its charming little alleyways, cute smugglers’ cottages, a working harbour offering boat trips, and a variety of traditional Cornish pubs. You’ll find plenty of pubs and cafes where you can enjoy fresh fish dishes, Cornish pasties, or cream tea, as well as a variety of independent shops. You can also take a boat trip from the harbour and explore the south-west coast.”
