About Polkerris

Polkerris is a small village on the south coast of Cornwall, England. It forms part of the civil parish of Fowey. Intimate in scale and coastal by nature, Polkerris offers a quietly inviting sense of place: modest proportions encourage slow, attentive visits and the pleasure of uncomplicated discovery. Its location on Cornwall’s south coast and its ties to the parish of Fowey give it a clear sense of context, making it an appealing pause for those seeking a gentle, unhurried experience of Cornish life. Polkerris rewards patient observation and a willingness to soak up atmosphere rather than grand spectacle, presenting a concise and intimate example of coastal Cornwall.
