Polgooth Village - Pasties & Pints Quick Review

Village - inland detour - lived-in

Polgooth is a compact, practical village a few minutes off the A390, with little centre but a strong local feel. It works best as a base for nearby lanes, woods and beaches rather than a browse-and-shop stop. Bring what you need. Overall, it’s okay: low drama, limited buzz, reliably Cornwall inland.
