Description
Image is of Polperro harbour on the Cornish coast in England, UK during low tide.
Polperro 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, 4 miles west of the neighboring town of Looe and 25 miles 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.
Fishing was traditionally the principal occupation of Polperro families. For centuries the village has been a fishing and processing port. Fish have been drawn to the south Cornwall coast to feed in late summer and these brought rich pickings for local fishermen.
Timing is a factor for boat owners in Polperro as the tide drains the quay of water during low tide periods.
