The Loft
The Net Loft at Lansallos on the south Cornish coast is a historic fishermen's building perched above the small, sheltered cove of Polperro's hinterland, where pilchard fishing once dominated life along the shore. Simple and functional in form, it sits in a landscape of extraordinary natural beauty — craggy headlands, clear turquoise water, and the deep silence of a coast that sees far fewer visitors than it deserves. The National Trust's stewardship of this stretch ensures the cove remains as unhurried as it has always been.
