Polperro

1 'Polperro' (, meaning Pyra's cove) is a village and fishing harbour on the south-east

Cornwall coast in South West England, UK, within the civil parish of Lansallos. It is

situated on the River Pol, 4miles (6km) west of the neighbouring town of Looe and west

of the major city and naval port of Plymouth, it is well known for its idyllic location,

surrounded by tightly packed old fishermen's houses which makes it attractive to tourists,

and particularly in the summer months.
