A Taste of Polperro Harbour and Village Cornwall

A few photos of Polperro for today's post. Starting above with a boat entering Polperro's harbour.

The large village has been known for fishing stretching way back to the Domesday Book - which was completed in 1086. It is now  very much a popular tourist destination.

Many of the old fishermen's houses and cottages remain, some of which, are holiday homes.

The River Pol flows through the village.

A few boats in the harbour - a colourful sight on a sunshine day.

Houses on high in Polperro.

The name Polperro, as I understand it, originates from the  Cornish language word  Porthpyra, meaning a harbour or cove named after Pyran. 

I came across the old picture of Polperro, below, which is in  the Public Domain.

Thank you for visiting my blog, Mike.

All good wishes.

Photos of Polperro, Cornwall

A few photos today of Polperro harbour on Cornwall's south coast. A very attractive fishing village on the River Pol, now very much a tourist attraction within the summer months.

The photo above shows a small boat entering Polperro harbour, otherwise the photos are self explanatory - small boats and cottages surrounding the pretty harbour.
