Avery follows the path of the narrow cobbled streets. They wind together. silvery gray between huddles of whitewashed stone cottages nestled in the cliffside, rising to stands of pine trees, feathery and fanning against the clear blue of a pristine summer sky. Most of the cottages are roofed in the local dark slate.

Cobalt blue window frames contrast with terracotta pots, bright with red geraniums. Pink hot poker flowers rise from well-tended cottage gardens where clean white sheets billow on washing lines. As he turns a bend, he's surprised to see palm trees that thrive here in the gulf stream. fluttering in the steady breeze.

Traditional stone walls, topped with bright clusters of cornish daisies, flank the path either side of Avery, guiding his way with cheerful certainty. He has never been here before. And yet, in his heart, he feels at home and at peace. For the first time in a long while, Avery feels a sense of authenticity that has been lacking in his life.

Friendly locals nod and smile in greeting, and Avery feels welcome. As well as being a place steeped in smuggling history and fisherman's tales, the harbor village of Pulpero has a rich, modern cultural scene to enjoy, too. Avery soon learns that locals here love to host social events, such as a music festival and a water carnival.

Polpero also boasts one of the best firework displays in Cornwall. All good reasons to return later in the year. The architecture, surrounding countryside, and protected harbor breathe whispers of their storied pasts. There is an otherworldliness here, Avery thinks.

The light here has a unique quality, and he is inspired like the many artists, authors, and poets over the centuries who have visited and lived in Cornwall. Fish and chip shops scattered throughout the village offer the opportunity to sample the local fresh seafood, which Avery plans to do later. He enjoys watching the gulls wheeling over the sea further out in the bay.

He follows his nose and decides to sample the recommended fish and chips. It takes a while to prepare, but is well worth the wait. It's served piping hot and wrapped
