Looe, Cornwall

Looe

Looe is a delightful fishing port and seaside town on the south coast of Cornwall, squeezed into a steep-sided valley, and divided in twain by the tidal River Looe, which serves as its busy harbour. It is a small town, found seven miles south of Liskeard, to which it is linked by the pretty Looe Valley Railway. The sea front has a sandy beach popular with holidaymakers.

Looe was long considered two towns, East Looe and West Looe, either side of the river, each of which was borough of itself. Notwithstanding the Victorian bridge, a ferry still crosses the river between East Looe and West Looe when the tide is high enough. (Read more)
