Polperro is a village and fishing port originally belonging to the ancient Raphael manor mentioned in the Domesday Book. It is on the south-east Cornwall coast in south west England, UK. Situated on the River Pol, four miles west of the major resort of Looe and 25 miles west of the major city and port of Plymouth, it has a picturesque fishing harbour lined with tightly packed houses which make it a popular tourist location in the summer months. Visitors cannot take their cars into the village; they leave their vehicles in the main car park just outside the village as they approach from the north and walk the remaining half mile to the harbour. Fishing has always been a principal occupation for the people of Polperro.
