one escape each day
This traditional yet thriving fishing industry that still land their daily catch, remains unspoilt by progress retaining its original charm and character. The harbour side boasts authentic pubs and award winning restaurants, a labyrinth of streets to explore and the fabulous heritage sites all set against a backdrop of sandy beaches and traditional Cornish homes and fishermen’s net lofts.
Looe’s situation is unique, and we simply cannot emphasise this enough. Set amongst spectacular rugged coast line, boasting its own beautiful sandy beach sheltered from the roaring Atlantic. It’s fed by the most gorgeous meandering estuary rich in wildlife and marine conservation which the Creekside overlooks. Looe’s St George’s Island where smugglers used to unload their illicit goods can occasionally be visited by sun seekers by foot (if you don’t mind damp feet!) or the ferry boat.
looe's heritage
Looe's surrouinding area is distinctive, beautiful and historic providing some of the best views available.
This Local Nature Reserve, which follows the West Looe River, is one of the few areas of ancient woodland in Britain. Close to the town and the Creekside, yet far from the bustle, Kilminorth Woods offers the idea spot to wander and let your cares dissolve. Follow the riverside path to discover the wealth of wildlife that enjoys the saltwater environment. Watch out for herons nesting, moorhens scurrying and kingfishers catching lunch!
Looe also offers amazing walks as part of the Looe Heritage Trail project covering miles and miles of walks for all abilities whilst guiding and informing you along the way.
