Polperro

Nestled in a steep, wooded valley along Cornwall's rugged south coast, Polperro is easily one of the most charming fishing villages in England. Located halfway between Looe and Fowey, it’s a place where narrow, winding lanes lead you down to a peaceful working harbour, with whitewashed cottages clinging to the hillsides and fishing boats bobbing in the water. For centuries, this tiny port thrived on pilchards and a cheeky side of smuggling—a colourful history you can dive into at the Polperro Heritage Museum of Smuggling and Fishing. You can spend your time wandering the car-free streets, following the South West Coast Path along Chapel Cliff for breathtaking views, or simply watching the tide roll in from a cosy harbourside café.

Since parking can be a bit of a nightmare in this tucked-away corner of Cornwall, travelling by coach is the way to go. You can just sit back, relax, and enjoy the scenery while someone else handles the winding country roads. Many coach tours pair Polperro with other Cornish gems, meaning you can explore smugglers' secrets, browse local galleries, and treat yourself to a proper Cornish cream tea all in one trip.
