Polperro Harbour Trust
Polperro is a Trust Port which is managed by volunteers elected from the local community.
The Trust was established in 1894 by a separate Act of Parliament. We do not receive any Government funding so our operating and maintenance costs are sourced from income such as mooring fees, property rent, income from the Heritage Museum and your generous donations.

Remembering Fay Cowan
June - 2025
The Trustees are saddened by the passing of Fay Cowan, our honorary President, whose lifelong support for the Harbour and its work will be fondly remembered.
Last week, we welcomed the annual visit from Trinity House for their inspection of the Polperro lighthouse and the navigation lamp at the harbour entrance.
Polperro’s fishing heritage is under pressure following the closure of the Plymouth wholesale fish market in 2024. The loss of a vital collection service left local vessels facing tough choices—but a new community-led solution is helping to keep the industry afloat.
