POLPERRO | Exploring holiday coastal seaside village of Polperro Cornwall

[@timothygreen4997]

Another lovely clip,thank you .I’ve been to polperro several times and had some lovely times there,good memories,one time though visited just after the awful floods in the early nineties,everything that wasn’t tied down and even a couple of cars was all in the river and jammed against the bridges,lots of badly flooded houses and businesses including a small museum which was still half under water when we were there , sad sight . It’s a bad sign of the times that these lovely places are being lost to second home owners just using them a few times a year or holiday let’s ,it takes the soul and community out of them,I have friends in Suffolk and their villages have gone from locals who had lived there for years with lots of small shops for daily living to ghost villages in the winter with only a few antique or craft shops catering for the passers through .

Absolutely love Polperro, been visiting since i was a kid and im now nearly 50 😂 in fact we are off to stay in Looe right near the beach in August and I've already set aside a day in Polperro. I too love to go in Winter when you feel like you're the only person in the village. Its magical anytime of year. Fantastic video mate, and the added touch of the music as you got closer to the harbour was a nice touch. Cant wait to get to Cornwall again soon. 😊

Wonderful tour, thank you so much! Love your sense of humour, those little witty comments peppering the tour are really nice to read!

Thank you!

Absolutely beautiful. We loved this village. Thank you!

Thank you too!

Love visiting Polperro and following the river down to the beach. The flowers in summer along the way are really beautiful. I'm sure I've had a drink in all the pubs there along the years ha ha. You can see a view of the harbour from a window in the upstairs bar of the Blue Peter Inn. I think the harbour looks much better when the tide is in though, really stunning. I went in the cave once, when the tide was coming in, to get a few quick photos. Of course the tide can come in really fast in Cornwall. It was lapping the steps so had to wait for the sea to retreat then jump on the steps to get up before the next wave came. It was definitely over the first step. We walked along the top road as well overlooking the cave. Took some awesome photos. Had a cream tea on the way back at the Green House cafe near the model village. It's a beautiful quaint place. Thank you for sharing your video x

[@brutaltooth3900]

Those little streams running down by the side of houses, I would just love to live there, the sound at night of the running water, bliss! The cottages have such character because of the days when they were built, it's like a living trip down memory lane... can just imagine horse and carts going by. Things have been so well preserved. Love the subtle way you bring the signature white trainers into view. Another great walk around such a gorgeous little coastal area ^_^

[@ddunn3489]

Thanks you saved me a plane ticket again !!!! That was a great B Day gift. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽🤾‍♀️🤸‍♀️🏃

[@elainehowell2836]

Thanks for showing us around another seaside village and it looks like a ghost town not many people round and the river and the breach was wonderful and so was the caves as well and I bet the children's loves going in them Thanks Neil

[@user-zp4ge3yp2o]

They're always ghost towns in winter since very few people actually live there anymore, all holiday homes.

[@gem7042]

Loved this place & the slippery sea adventure walk how amazing to see the Shells hanging on to the rocks like that! And the pinky orange Lobsters just lying there on the beach. And the pinkish sand is lovely too. A perfect coastal wintery walk to celebrate your Birthday with Neil🎉 Also loved that amazing Cave!

[@GimbalWalkTV]

Thank you so much!

@@GimbalWalkTV your welcome Neil☺️

[@thecolneranger1588]

Years ago they had horses and carts to ferry people from the car park to the harbour, when they stopped there were electric carts, like milk floats, to do the job of you didn't fancy the walk. They were still running the last time I was here a few years ago, in peak season of course. As you say it does get very busy in the summer, some would say uncomfortably so but that's the same throughout Cornwall.

[@Wayne-ks9gd]

The trams stopped a few years a go..

[@lizcounsell2243]

Lovely video. The view of the sea from the cave was beautiful. Such a shame that it's become a ghost village in winter. Locals have just been priced out of such places.

[@gemmaevans3904]

Love this place, one of my faves. Thanks for the video!

[@GimbalWalkTV]

You’re welcome ❤️

[@tonywest1067]

A very lovely village I was there some years ago I remember the long walk from the car park not shore I could do it now

[@dougie1325]

I love Polperro and a Cornish Ale at the Blue Peter Inn is highly recommended.

Your videos are wonderful. Many thanks!

[@GimbalWalkTV]

Thank you so so much!

[@violetmoonofthenorth]

Beautiful place. It seems like it’s just for tourists and elites with second homes? Where’s the actual people from Cornwall and Devon live?… I’m just curious. I’m from the northeast and would love to visit down south and have never ventured far, but just makes me a little sad nobody lives there permanently? Gorgeous area of the uk.

[@obiwankenobi6952]

Very lovely, like always keep following your trips around from Germany…Cornwall for me the most incredible Place…but the UK is very beautiful anyway ❤❤❤ so I guess the caves are under water when the tide comes in ? 🤗🤗🤗

[@GimbalWalkTV]

Yes I think so - Exciting place to explore eh!

[@yorki5208]

Nice place bit quieter than your last visit here 👍

[@GimbalWalkTV]

Yes it was! Was great to have it to myself!

[@garethvaughan426]

Lovely place and fantastic vlog, thank you, I remember the last time I was there very clearly, It was the week Princess Diana died😔

[@GimbalWalkTV]

Oh no! That definitely would stick in your mind

[@traceyaplin2596]

Beautiful. Not ideal for my husband, but he said he will gladly sit in the village square with a pasty and cup of coffee whilst we go exploring

lovely place but if i was a day visitor i would feel rushed by the parking limited hours

[@GimbalWalkTV]

Yes the parking is rubbish

[@andrewcroft9541]

We visited in October was very busy then makes you wonder how the businesses cope in winter with nobody around

Great video ,very different without the tourists .Any chance you can do Perranporth sometime ?😁😁👍👍

I watched your last video of Polpero a few months ago, and mention to you about the house of shells, did you forget to see if it still there.?

[@GimbalWalkTV]

I couldn't find it barbara! I looked but no luck? I must be looking in the wrong place though I think?

[@barbaradaniel7674]

@@GimbalWalkTV House of shells probably all been removed, its many years since I was in Polpero thank you looking.

Well that's one way to tire me out 🤣

I remember back in 93, in the car park, there was a gypsy woman with a monkey and had a photo with them.

[@donnakebabmat5413]

You missed the tide pool.

[@TripleSTrio]

Nice video thank you. What was the brick house with the boarded up windows by the ocean used for? Did it look like a former home or a business at one time?

[@donnakebabmat5413]

I think it is a net store.

[@davidkilpatrick2164]

Lovely place been there 3 times car parking expensive now too far to travel now.

[@alejandroferrari1880]

I cant decide which is nicer, Polperro or Clovelly. Your opinion?

[@GimbalWalkTV]

Good question! I've only ever visited Clovelly in winter so not seen it full of visitors but I have to still give it to Polperro if I'm honest!

[@johnmerrick4406]

Polperro by a mile, such a pretty place and so much to see, Nothing unique about Clovelly, just pay the £8.50 each to get in and £5 for the landrover back up the very steep hill, was there a couple of years ago and a total waste of money, never again.

[@user-zp4ge3yp2o]

Not much to see at Clovelly, but there's a good walk if you park at Bucks Mills to the east and walk along the coast to Clovelly and back, means you don't have to pay to get in either.

[@grahams6690]

thanks for the video, we wont be visiting there, £6.00 for parking a motorcycle.

[@GimbalWalkTV]

Aye - worth it if you like the village and beach though
