Known for its narrow, winding medieval streets and pastel-coloured cottages, the town clings to steep hillsides, offering stunning views of the busy estuary and the neighbouring village of Polruan. It has long been a source of literary inspiration, most famously as the home of Daphne du Maurier, whose legacy is celebrated annually at the town's arts festival.
