Polperro - Cornwall - England - 4k Virtual Walk - July 2020

Walk with us around Polperro in July 2020. Following the recent lockdown, the shops, restaurants and pubs are starting to open and tourists are returning once again. The walk starts at the top of the village near the Crumplehorn Inn. We make our way down through the narrow streets to the harbour and beach. ************************************************************** Polperro lies just a few spectacular miles along the coast from Looe. Sheltered from the ravages of time and tide in its cliff ravine, it's an enchanting jumble of cottages, each one unmistakably the work of a Cornish fisherman. Polperro has a small sandy beach located just outside the main breakwater. The beach is in front of Willy Wilcox cave, believed to have been used by smugglers. One of the most popular places in Cornwall, the village of Polperro is undoubtedly one of the prettiest. Packed tightly into a steep valley on either side of the River Pol, the quaint colour-washed cottages and twisting streets offer surprises at every turn: the Saxon and Roman bridges, the famous House on Props, the old Watch House, the fish quay, and the 16th century house where Dr. Jonathan Couch lived, naturalist and grandfather of the celebrated writer Sir Arthur Quiller-Couch. With its protected inner harbour full of colourful boats. Polperro is still a working fishing village, although tourism provides the main source of income. Attractions include a Museum of Smuggling and a Model Village. ************************************************************** Hello and welcome to our channel.
