Getting Here & Getting About

Lovepolperro

By Car: Polperro is on the A387 between Looe and Polruan/Fowey.Drivers are advised to switch off their SatNav before reaching the village to prevent the challenge of negotiating the village's very narrow streets. Use of the main car park at the bottom of the hill on the A387, just before you enter the village is strongly recommended! There are no other public car parks or on-street parking in the village centre and enforcement officers work in the village to prevent illegal parking. Polperro village streets are narrow; many a driver has persevered, but alas they have all been defeated in the end, facing a long and difficult reverse manoeuvre to escape!

Unless you are heading to a hotel, B&B or rented cottage with private parking, please respect the “permitted vehicles only” signs at all the entrances to the village and park in the main car park.
