Table of contents

The Polperro Harbour Walk is a nice and easy walking route in Cornwall that will allow you to explore the scenic seaside village of Polperro. While out walking the trail, you will make your way through a coombe to reach the village, exploring the south bank of the River Pol, before traversing its north bank alongside the harbour. This is a fantastic adventure for anyone that is after a relaxing day of exploring a quiet fishing village along the scenic Cornish Coast.

Route Description for Polperro Harbour Walk

While it doesn’t offer much in the way of dramatic scenery or challenging terrain, the Polperro Harbour Walk is an excellent adventure geared towards those that want to spend the day in total relaxation while walking the quiet streets of the village of Polperro.

Setting out from the car park, you will male your way to the south along A387, passing through the forested coombe on the way into the village of Polperro. Once there, you will pass through the historic streets of the fishing settlement and keep right to explore the shops, restaurants, and waterside areas along the south bank of the River Pol. The Blue Peter Inn, located near Polperro Beach, is a great place to pop in for some mid-walk food and drink.

After retracing your steps into the village, make your way to The Warren in order to explore the north bank of the River Pol. Here, you will pass by the Polperro Heritage Museum of Smuggling and Fishing, while enjoying some nice views of the harbour. From this point, you can take some time to further explore the village, or simply head back to the car park along the same route that you followed in.
