Looe

Looe straddles the tidal River Looe in south-east Cornwall, a position that has shaped its two historic quarters into a maritime town centred on the harbour. East and West Looe are linked by a bridge, while the river opens into Looe Bay and wooded Looe Island lies just offshore. Fishing boats still work from the harbour, continuing a port tradition closely associated with Cornwall’s pilchard trade. Narrow lanes above the waterfront retain the compact form of an old fishing community, and the South West Coast Path passes through town.
