The picturesque village and port of Polperro on the south coast of Cornwall.
Polperro, through which runs the River Pol, is approximately seven miles east of Fowey and four miles west of the neighbouring town of Looe. The village and port are hugely popular with tourists, and in the summer months gets extremely busy. Polperro is popular for its idyllic appearance with tightly packed ancient fisherman's houses which survive almost untouched, its quaint harbour and stunning coastal views.
During the late 1700s/early 1800s Polperro was heavily involved in the smuggling trade with boats crossing the channel between Cornwall and France all the time, bringing back all sorts of goods, mainly to avoid paying heavy taxes. Over the years it’s the alcohol and tobacco that is usually talked about, but less romantics goods such as salt were just as important to the people of Polperro.
