A Poldark Fan? You'll Love Charlestown
Charlestown's unspoilt Georgian harbour was the perfect stand-in for 18th-century Cornwall in BBC's hit series Poldark. The tall ships, cobbled quays, and period buildings remain unchanged. Stay at Pinetum Gardens and spend an evening exploring where Ross, Demelza, and Captain Poldark came to life.
