Polperro, Fishing village in Cornwall, England
The small port of Polperro features narrow stone streets lined with white cottages, leading down to a harbor filled with fishing boats and nets.
During the 18th century, Polperro developed into a major smuggling center, with local residents transporting contraband goods through the village's winding pathways at night.
The Polperro Festival in June brings together locals and visitors for music performances, traditional Cornish dances, and exhibitions by the Polperro Fishermen's Choir.
Visitors must leave their vehicles at the designated parking area outside the village and walk through the narrow streets or take a horse-drawn carriage.
The tidal pool at Chapel Rock, constructed in the 1940s, provides a natural swimming area where people can enjoy the water while watching fishing boats return.
