Polperro

If you go to Looe, it's a must to visit Polperro. Not an easy place to get to down the narrow Cornish lanes, but certainly worth the effort. Perhaps one of the most picturesque villages on the Cornish south coast. The car park is just outside the village, midway up the valley. So there are a couple of novel ways to reach the harbour if you don't walk, as shown in the video.

We then just had to climb all the way back up to the car-park!
