Please note:
The only car park available for this Trail is the Polperro Village pay and display car park. As of Spring 2026, it costs £7.00 for up to 3 hours or £12.00 for up to 6 hours to park here. The car park also only accepts CASH (coins), although there is a change machine, so please be prepared before setting off!
Also, please be aware that this Trail is a LINEAR Route that finishes on a section of the South West Coast Path near to the village, so you will need to walk back to the start point once completed.
