YOUR LOCAL HOLIDAY GUIDE
Things to do in Polperro
Harbour and village lanes
Follow the streets down towards the harbour and take time to explore the smaller lanes. The close-packed buildings and changing water level are part of the attraction; a short visit can work well when you want an outing without a large activity budget.
Smuggling history
The village museum explores Polperro's maritime past and smuggling connections. It provides context for the harbour you have just walked around and an indoor option alongside the shops, rather than relying entirely on good weather for your visit.
Walk towards Talland Bay
The South West Coast Path heads east from Polperro towards Talland Bay. Treat this as a planned coastal walk, with suitable footwear and a return route, rather than an extension of a level village stroll. Choose the distance for your group's ability.
Local shops, food & places to browse
Look for locally made crafts, galleries and confectionery as you walk through the village. There are also pubs and other places to eat, so a browsing afternoon can lead into dinner before you head back to your holiday home.
Planning your holiday in Polperro
Polperro's narrow, sloping approach makes arrival planning particularly useful. Use the designated visitor parking and read the village's access advice; carrying only what you need will make a walk down and back more comfortable.
Choosing where to stay
Read the park address and owner's directions before booking. A holiday home in the surrounding Polperro area may be above or outside the village, so compare the real route to the harbour rather than assuming a central waterfront position.
Before you book, check the advert’s address, sleeping arrangements, park facilities and any extra charges with the owner. Use the search filters for features such as decking, a hot tub or a washing machine, and park facilities such as a pool or clubhouse.

How do I check dates and contact the owner?
