Village by the Sea

Displayed times (last time: )

The Cornish peninsula thrusts into the Atlantic Ocean, and as with many peninsulas has managed to develop its own culture. Mention "Cornwall" and the average person in the UK thinks of tin mining, rolling fields, picturesque fishing villages and Daphne Du Maurier. Rightly so! It's quite unique. There is in fact an active movement striving for independence from England. After my most recent visit I came away with the impression that Polperro and its hinterland is different from the rest of England. I felt that many years ago and still feel it now. Perhaps the reason why I feel myself being constantly dragged back to Polperro is that the place is indeed different - so uniquely Cornish!
