    My buddies and I went to this charming Port in 2012. The people were very friendly.
    We were a few ladies of the Ascot Chapter of the Daughters of the British Empire in Orange County, California, USA. We had such fun. Folks should visit this wonderful port!

    I visited Polperro in 1988 and hope to revisit in 2024. It's a photographer's paradise.

    I was christened in that church! Had a fishermans choir....my ancestors were smugglers from the village. Great video Brian! Loved the tour and never knew about the rounded corners

      I'm from Looe just up the coast and was a member of that choir but I'm now living abroad. It's still going as far as I know and many good times were enjoyed....Miss home very much.

    I just adored Polperro, from the top to the harbour. Steep winding lanes, smugglers houses, white washed buildings and the crying of the seagulls. A picture perfect village, you need to put on your bucket list. Truly stunning.

    I had the pleasure of visiting Polperro last summer whilst driving around Cornwall. It was a glorious sunny day and the village was absolutely stunning . Worth a visit to stroll around and soak up the atmosphere of days gone by. Great video that showcases Polperro.

      It can get quite busy in the summer months, but there is a huge car park at the entrance to the village.
