Map and Local Area
Looe

The stunning town of Looe is divided into East and West Looe by the estuary of the Looe River flowing gently between then two villages. East Looe is a thriving fishing port where you can watch the early morning auction of the freshly landed fish and West Looe is on the quieter side of the river where you can find the starting point for the heritage trail.

The towns are characterised by their narrow cobbled streets, steeped in history and full of stories and legends of smugglers and fishing. Just a short walk through the maze of alleyways of East Looe and you will reach a beautiful sandy beach perfect for families and ideal for rock pooling.

There are many attractions available in and around Looe including: speed boat trips round the bay, wreck fishing trips, sailing in a real Cornish lugger or simply relaxing on the beach. There is a wide range of restaurants and cafes, many of them on the quay, where you can sample the local fish and watch the sun go down over the river. Traditional Inns and cosy pubs are tucked away in the narrow streets and offer a relaxed atmosphere.

Polperro

The unspoilt fishing village of Polperro is just 3 miles away where again you’ll find a maze of narrow lanes leading down to a picturesque and truly unspoilt harbour – and even a museum dedicated to its heritage of fishing and smuggling! Many other towns and attractions within Cornwall are close by and well worth exploring.
