Accessibility

2025-

According to Google:

Accessibility around Polperro Harbour is challenging due to the village's steep, narrow, and uneven streets, with most vehicle access restricted to the large car park at the entrance. Transport services like a seasonal tram, horse-drawn bus, or tuk-tuk are available from the car park to help people reach the harbour, but be prepared for the steep walk and the possibility of expensive parking fees. The village and beaches are not ideal for those with significant mobility issues

Brief description

2025-

"Polperro must rank as one of the most picturesque villages in Cornwall, if not England? The road into the village snakes down the steep-sided coombe, mainly free of traffic, meaning you can enjoy wandering through the streets browsing the shops that major in locally made handicrafts and confectionery. There's also plenty of places to eat and drink from award-winning restaurants to traditional pubs.

Get the camera ready for when you reach the picturesque harbour, especially if the tides is in, and make a point of visiting the Smuggling Museum where you will find out all about the village’s sea based trials and tribulations.

Dotted around the village there are several galleries, carrying on the tradition of artists who have fallen in love with the views over the years. We think you'll do the same and just to make sure we recommend walking up the coastal path either side of the harbour to capture the view looking back over the village, we promise you won’t regret it."
