Polperro
This particularly photogenic fishing village on the south Cornwall coast, Polperro is built around a compact harbour with tightly-packed historic fishermen's houses lining the River Pol as it meets the sea. Heritage-dense and right at the water, it sits within the Polperro Heritage Coastline and draws visitors especially in summer. A modest cluster of cafés and restaurants serves the village, and scenic coastal viewpoints lie within easy reach.
