Whilst on holiday in Cornwall last week, it was Tony's turn to choose where we would head out to be tourists and allow me to take lots of photo's. He chose Polperro.
Polperro is a 13th century fishing village about 25 miles from Plymouth. You can find lots of information about it here. Tony used to go to Polperro with his parents when he was younger and has also taken me for a trip before we even had William. It is a very very pretty little village with lots of tiny shops and places to eat as well as lovely cliff top walks and boat trips. Oh, and lots of seagulls...
Like a lot of other places in Cornwall, you have to park in a car park away from the village and either walk in or pay a little bit of money for a ride on the tram down. The trams are actually old milk floats, I want to kick myself for not taking a picture of one - next time we're there we will!
On the way down, there are lots of lush houses to gawp at. Tony was starting to walk a slight distance away from me as he reminded me that I was taking pictures of other people's houses!
One thing I did get a picture of however, was of an old lady opening her window to feed the seagulls some breadcrumbs. Oh. The. Noise.
Before we stopped for some lunch we had a wander down to see the sea and spot some boats. William loved walking down some steps where the sea waves were lapping up, luckily he didn't get soaking wet!
We stopped for lunch at one of the many small tearooms, the highlight for William being a huge knickerbocker glory (you can find pictures of us scoffing it on Tony's instagram). Here are a few more photo's from Polperro. Another great day.
