Polperro United Kingdom Postcard

Polperro is widely considered one of the prettiest villages in Cornwall, tucked into a narrow valley leading to a small, jagged harbour. Historically a notorious haunt for smugglers, its history is etched into the tiny, crooked houses that cling to the steep hillsides. The village is largely car-free, enhancing its quaint and historic feel. The surrounding coastline is designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, with dramatic cliff walks offering views over the turquoise waters of the English Channel. The village itself is a kaleidoscope of white-washed walls, hanging flower baskets, and the constant movement of the tide in the rocky inlet.
