Polruan is a small, unspoiled fishing village on the Fowey Estuary, with steep, narrow streets tumbling down to a working harbour directly opposite Fowey and a short passenger ferry across the water. It is a quieter, more low key alternative to Fowey itself, with excellent coast path walking towards Polperro and Lansallos.
