Of all the little fishing villages of southern Cornwall, Polperro is probably the most photographed – thanks to its superb setting at the mouth of a steep-sided valley. The harbour is still a working port for fishing boats, and visitors can see fish landed at the market on the quay on most days. One of the many attractive features of the harbour and the picturesque surrounding streets and lanes is the virtual absence of traffic – the only means of access for most visitors is a horse-drawn bus from the main car park on the outskirts of the village.
