Polruan
Across the harbour from Fowey, Polruan is an ancient fishing village with a strong boat building heritage. Clinging to the hillside, and surrounded on three sides by water, the village is a maze of narrow streets alleys and flights of steps winding between the cottages, it is much loved as a community, a haven for yachts and also a tranquil holiday destination. With just a couple of pubs, a cafe and local shop, Polruan has retained its unspoilt charm, but it is just a few minutes on the passenger ferry to Fowey for more shops and eateries. During the summer the ferry runs until 11 at night.
