Admittedly it is very difficult to draw youself away from sitting in The Anchorage window watching the wonderful scene of the harbour  - there is so much more to do, and so little time.

The village itself has friendly pubs with good food, cafes and tea rooms, restaurants ranging from fine dining to good honest English grub. Why not start with a hearty breakfast at the nearby House on Props.

Once you are fed and watered pop into the Heritage Museum, Model Village, Art Galleries, craft and gift shops while you wander around the lanes and alleyways.

For the more energetic try a boat trip from the harbour - call Jackie on 01503 272476 or her mobile 07885 827891 or a cliff top and coastal walk - don't miss out on a swim in the local rock pool, courtesy of the tide.When you have finished it would be rude not to visit a local pub such as The Three Pilchards www.threepilchardspolperro.co.uk on your way back to The Anchorage.

Apart from the obvious attractions Polperro has times of the year where special events unique to the village take place - and they are not to be missed..

Every June Polperro has it's own festival of music and arts, in November there are fireworks from peak Rock, December has the Christmas lights and market and who could possibly miss the village in fancy dress for New Year's Eve - please click here to find out more.
