May 6, 2025,Cornwall Fowery - Polperry, return

In Fowery, take the ferry to Poluran (09-21:00 approx. every quarter of an hour, 3.20 lbs.), a challenging hike with many elevation changes, sensational scenery, Polperro is a nice little town with a harbor, 100% touristy, unfortunately there is hardly anything urban left
