Portholland is a small village located in the county of Cornwall, England. It is situated at the southwesternmost tip of the county, just a few miles from the border with Devon. With a population of just over 300, the village is a picturesque and peaceful place and is a popular destination for visitors and locals alike.

The name Portholland is thought to have derived from the Cornish words 'porth' and 'holland', meaning 'port' and 'promontory'. This is due to the sheltered cove that lies in the mouth of the Trefusis River, which can be seen from the village. This sheltered inlet was once a popular spot for fishermen, who would bring their catch ashore to be sold in the local market.

The village is surrounded by stunning countryside and has a number of attractions nearby. The beach is a particular draw for visitors, who come to enjoy the crystal clear waters and the soft white sand. There is also a pier, built in the 19th century, which provides an ideal spot for fishing and birdwatching.

The village itself is a delightful place to explore. At its heart is the old village square, which is lined with quaint shops and cafes. There is also a church and a post office, as well as a number of historic buildings. One of the most striking is the former manor house, which is now a luxurious holiday cottage.

The area around Portholland is also full of interesting things to do and see. Just a few miles away is the village of Port Isaac, which is home to the famous television show 'Doc Martin'. The nearby town of Fowey is renowned for its picturesque harbour and its annual regatta, while the nearby fishing village of Polperro is a must-see for its quaint cottages and winding cobbled streets.

Portholland is an idyllic spot and is a wonderful place to while away a few days. Whether you're looking for a peaceful break or a fun day out, there is something here for everyone. With its stunning scenery, fascinating history, and friendly locals, it is no wonder that this little corner of Cornwall continues to be a popular destination for visitors from near and far.
