A very tight valley with just one road in and out. The road is for authorised vehicles only and so the general public must park in the pay-and-display parking lot at the top of the village. It is reasonably priced, though very busy during high season.
Park in Looe and take the bus that leaves from in front of the doctor's surgery.
From Looe take the well marked coastal path. It's a lovely walk, taking about an hour to two depending on speed - why rush?!
The walk into town from the parking lot is not very steep and takes 10 minutes. If walking is not your thing, there's a horse and cart or converted milk float "tram" that will take you there and back for __1.50 (75p one way).
'''Sea trips''' from the harbour. There have been plenty of sightings of basking sharks just off Polperro Harbour and the converted fishing boats do 30 minute round trips to see them if they are around.
