Polperro has had many names in its long history.
In 1300 it was known as Porthpirie, by the
1500’s it was Poulpier. Its present name of
Polperro is thought to mean ‘the mouth of the
river Pol’, from the small stream, which runs
through the village. Polperro nestles in a valley
with hills on three sides. Polperro’s famous son,
Jonathon Couch had a house here, named
‘Couch’s Great House’. He was a local doctor
and an eminent naturalist. The village also had its
share of smuggling, influenced greatly by
Zephaniah Job, who organised lawyers for
smugglers who were caught and sent money for
those in prison. He was also adviser, banker and
accountant to many. There is much to see and do
on a visit – The Model Village, The Museum of
Smuggling, the Shell House which is decorated
with shells-a local man who decorated the house
as a hobby, created a tourist attraction.
Spectacular coastal walks along the cliff tops lead to
Talland Bay, Looe and more.
