Polruan
This modest Cornish village on the water, bounded on three sides by the sea, the River Fowey, and Pont Creek, with a strong photographic profile and more cafés and restaurants than its size would suggest. The steep hillsides shelter the village from prevailing winds, and Polruan Pool offers a quiet haven for compact boats. Scenic viewpoints are within easy reach along the surrounding hilltops.
