Season: autumn
Although there is a small beach at Polperro next to the outer breakwater, this was really a visit to a fishing village, rather than a beach. Polperro is prepared for visitors in terms of convenient shops and attractions. I particularly recommend a visit to the Polperro Arts Foundation, a not-for-profit outfit that supports local artists, featured in the interview below. This is a charming village by the sea, ideal for a day visit or for a longer stay.

Season: winter
This is one of Cornwall’s most scenic villages, with an iconic fishing harbour. Although it was a grey day at Polperro for this visit, with rain about and few visitors, some of the seasonal shops were just starting to open and the village still held its winter sleepiness to the fore.
