Situated on the River Pol, four miles west of the major resort of Looe and 25 miles west of the major city and port of Plymouth, it has a picturesque fishing harbour lined with tightly packed houses which make it a popular tourist location in the summer months. The village retains almost all of its 17th Century architectural charm and has been a working fishing port since the 13th Century. This peaceful fishing cove was once a thriving centre for the area's smuggling. Today, in cellars where furtive smugglers once dodged the Customs Officer’s muskets, you can see displays of local crafts and fishermen's smocks, or dine in style at one of Polperro's excellent restaurants. Fishing trips or pleasure cruises can be arranged from the quayside, or one can take the cliff path to explore the secluded smuggling coves of Talland and Lantivet Bay. With its protected inner harbour full of colourful boats packed tightly into a steep valley on either side of the River Pol, the quaint colour-washed cottages and twisting streets, Polperro offers surprises at every turn: the Saxon and Roman bridges, the famous House on Props, The Old Watch House, the fish quay, and the 16th Century house where Dr.

  • Lansallos Description
    Lansallos Parish, a description The modern parish of Lansallos is bordered by Lanteglos in the west, Looe in the east and St Veep, Lanreath, Pelynt and Duloe on its northern side. Lansallos includes the historic parishes of Talland and Lansallos. It extends from the area of the small community of Lansallos and St Ildierna's church in the west to the communities of Porthallow and Talland and St Tallanus's church which overlooks the splendid Talland Bay in the east. The hamlet of Trenewan lies in the northwestern corner while to the northeast the parish extends as far as Kilminorth Woods and the estuary of the West Looe river. Polperro lies in the middle of the modern parish. From its ancient origins as a Gishing community centred on the harbour, the village has gradually extended irst along the steep- sided valleys of the River Pol and its tributaries and more recently into the relatively Glat areas well above the historic settlement, most notably including BrentGields, Carey Park and other developments around the old manor of Killigarth. The extended area of Polperro, including Langreek, Longcoombe, BrentGields, Carey Park and Killigarth, accounts for approximately 77 percent of the present population of Lansallos parish. Most of the lower part of the village was designated as a Conservation Area in 1969, one of the earliest places in the country to be recognised in this way. The parish is characterised by beautiful rural landscapes of rolling farmland separated by steep-sided and often tree- lined valleys, the ancient woodlands of Kilminorth Woods bordering the West Looe River, and a coastal strip of largely unmanaged, semi-natural vegetation on steep cliffs above attractive coves and small beaches.

  • The Allocation of Fishing Rights in Uk Fisheries A
    THE ALLOCATION OF FISHING RIGHTS IN UK FISHERIES A. Hatcher* and A. Read** * Centre for the Economics and Management of Aquatic Resources (CEMARE) University of Portsmouth, Portsmouth PO4 8JF, United Kingdom <[email protected]> ** Danbrit Ship Management Ltd 8 Abbey Walk, Grimsby DN31 1NB, United Kingdom 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 The UK fishing industry The United Kingdom has a long history of fishing, reflecting its position as an island with a relatively long coastline and its proximity to the productive fishing grounds of the European continental shelf, notably the North Sea, the English Channel and the West of Scotland. The UK fisheries are heterogeneous and this is reflected in a complex fleet structure. The shape of the modern UK fleet is the product of technological and market changes together with political developments, in particular the loss of access to traditional distant water grounds (particularly Iceland and Greenland) in the 1970s and the development of the Common Fisheries Policy (CFP) by the European Community (EC - which the UK joined in 1972). Under the CFP (see below) there have been national quotas for most stocks since the early 1980s, coupled with a succession of fleet reduction programmes (the so-called MAGPs or multi-annual guidance programmes). There are currently just over 8000 fishing vessels in the UK, although nearly three-quarters of these are inshore boats under 10m in length. Table 1 shows the trend in vessel numbers for the period 1994 to 1999 by vessel type (the “sectors” shown correspond to the classification used by the EC for measuring fleet size).
