All about Looe

This small coastal town in southeast Cornwall, just across the border from Devon, is a quirky sight: its houses spill charmingly down opposite banks of a river, the sides connected by a single, seven-arched bridge. There has been a fishing port here for hundreds of years, and much of the town’s life centres on its harbour. East Looe has a golden sandy beach, while Hannafore Beach on the west side of town has rock pools and views out to Looe Island, which was once a pilgrimage site inhabited by monks but is now a marine nature reserve. A museum in the historic buildings of the Old Guildhall and Gaol charts the town’s past, while the Looe Valley Line, opened in 1860, still offers one of the most scenic train journeys in Britain. Beyond the town, both the coast and the river valley make for wonderful walking, and the country parks and traditional villages of the Rame Peninsula are just a short drive away.

What are the top things to do in Looe?

Fore Street

Sandwiched between the quay on one side and the hill on the other, this narrow high street in East Looe can feel like a tight squeeze. The mixed jumble of buildings includes some with timber frames that date back to the Tudor era, and its shopfronts house many independent businesses.

Looe Island

Sitting about a mile from shore, Looe Island (also known as St George’s Island) is a protected nesting site for many bird species, while the waters around it are teeming with life. You can only visit the island by taking an organised boat trip, but your expert guide will be able to help you see the most of the wildlife, from seals to cormorants to butterflies.

Polperro

It’s approximately five miles to Looe’s neighbouring fishing village; you can reach it by foot along the South West Coast Path, which also takes you past the pretty beaches of Talland Bay. Time slows down here, and it’s easy to imagine the days when Polperro was a smuggler’s cove. There’s also a 13th-century church, and wonderful views from Chapel Cliff.
