Polkerris (Cornish: Pollkerys, meaning fortified pool) is a small village on the south coast of Cornwall, England. It forms part of the civil parish of Fowey.[1][2]

The village is part of the Menabilly estate, which is one of the seats of the Rashleigh family (commemorated in the name of the pub, the 'Rashleigh Inn'). The village essentially consists of a single steeply sloping road down to the harbour and beach. Parking is limited. There is a small sandy beach, with a curved harbour wall.
