The ruin of the eighth century St Saviour's church stands on the hill above Polruan. The village also has a blockhouse fortification dating back to the fourteenth century which is one of a pair that guards the entrance to the river Fowey. Polruan can be reached car and a local bus service via Looe and Polperro. The Polruan ferry crosses regularly year round to and from Fowey. There is also a ferry to Fowey from the neighbouring village of Boddinick. When the car ferry from Bodinnick is not running, Fowey can be reached by car via a journey via Lostwithial.
