The River Pol, also known as the Polperro River is a small river in southeastern Cornwall. The river rises near the village of Pelynt, and then flows through a steep valley into the hamlet of Crumplehorn before reaching Polperro. Within the village of Polperro it flows alongside a number of buildings and passes under many bridges, before it finally reaches the harbour and flows into the sea.{{cite book |author1=Robert Andrews |author2=Peter Hack |author3=Kate Hughes |author4=Bea Uhart |title=The Rough Guide to Devon & Cornwall |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Yoll2mMLp1QC&pg=PA205 |year=2004 |publisher=Rough Guides |isbn=978-1-84353-312-2 |pages=205}}{{cite web
