Although Polperro has narrow streets and a restriction on traffic entering the village, if you have a disability or mobility impairment please don't be put off coming to enjoy a visit here. There are facilities to help both "day trippers" and those enjoying a longer stay.

Access

Most visitors will have to park in the main car park, which is off the mini-roundabout, to the right, at the bottom of the long hill down to the village from Looe and Pelynt. (The only exceptions are guests staying at some of the hotels, guest-houses and holiday cottages which are fortunate enough to have their own parking).

The road from the car park into the village itself - and to the harbour and sea - is a long gentle slope. But remember that the other way - going back - is quite a long steady climb. There is a horse bus and a shuttle bus service, either of which you can use to go one way, or the other, or both. But bear in mind that these services stop part way through the evenings - if you will need to use one of the bus services to go back to the car park, don't forget to check what time the service will be ceasing.

Toilets

About half way down The Coombes (the main street down into the village from the car park), on the left hand side, adjacent to the Doctor's Surgery, there are public toilets. There is a disabled toilet, accessed by a "Radar Key" (which you will need to have with you). These toilets were completely renovated in 2001 and have a ramped access for wheel chairs.
