Polperro fishing village in the south of the UK

Alexey Solomatin writes: "The village of Polperro is located on the Cornwall peninsula a few kilometers from the town of Looe, where we very cheerfully welcomed the New Year 2014.

Polperro in the period of 12-18 centuries became famous for its smuggling past. Now it is a tourist destination in the south-west of the UK with cozy narrow streets, museums and an incredibly beautiful bay."
