Polperro Cliffside Stairs

Highlight • Viewpoint

A steep set of stairs which help you gain height quickly out of Polperro and up onto the cliffs.

Tip by

1.75 km

Nestled in a ravine, Polperro is sheltered from much of the adverse weather along this stretch of coastline. Boasting a delightful jumble of fishermans’ cottages, quirky streets and a traditional harbour, it’s a picturesque village that’s great fun to explore.

View of Polperro

Highlight • Historical Site

Tucked in the inlet you can see the fishing village of Polperro. Its small museum is well worth a visit to learn more about the smuggling and fishing history of the settlement.
