Polperro picture postcard village
02/03/2010
Polperro is a picture postcard harbour village. Picturesque and tightly packed cottages tumble down to fish quay on the inner harbour, once packed with pilchard luggers. Sadly now no longer.
There are many so many houses and cottages of interest. Couch's House dates from 1595, lived in the 19th century by Dr. Jonathan Couch who was the village doctor and naturalist and collector of fossils. The House on props and the Old Watch House are also fascinating old buildings.
The south West Coast path is worth exploring for the wild flowers to be found on the cliffs, leading to lovely bays and beaches. Polperro certainly has many wonderful cottages for hire to be able to explore all these. It is worth searching the Looe and Polperro website to find out about these holiday cottages.
