ポルペロの湖・トップ4

Fishing equipment visible on the house,

If you are looking for that hidden, idyllic, beautiful bay, then this is the place. Lantic Bay, which is owned by the National Trust, is just a classic hidden gem tucked away between Fowey and Poplerro. It has a large bay with turquoise water and golden sands; simply a stunning place. It is not easy to get to its gorgeous beach though, it will take you about twenty minutes to reach the beach by a footpath from the National Trust car park east of Polruan.

Small smuggling town with a nice museum and cottages.

Small, beautiful fishing town with a smuggling past. The cottages and the mill at the entrance to the town are very nice. We were there at low tide and the boats were lying in the mud.

The grotto here was built in the late 18th century. Although you can't access it, you can see the octagonal folly from the beach. The area is called Polridmouth Bay which is pronounced Pridmouth.

A bay like from a fairy tale. If you turn the corner (at low tide!) at the other end of the bay, a small rainforest is revealed, the water drips from the steep, lush green slopes.

Great hiking trail and very nice town

Just behind Par beach is a small wetland. A few chalets from Par Sands Holiday Park look out across the lake which must make for a beautiful view at sunrise & sunset. In years gone past it was a model boating lake but now a tranquil nature reserve.
