These two cottages sit just above the famous Willy Wilcox's Cave, which is at the side of Polperro's tiny sandy beach and is only uncovered at low tide. Willy Wilcox was an 18th century smuggler who lived in a cottage on the cliff above the cave. There was reputedly a secret passage between the two. Wilcox apparently drowned in the cave while hiding from Customs officers, and his ghost is said to haunt it.
