South East Cornwal’s Premier Resort
South East Cornwall’s premier resort of Looe is divided into East and West and connected by a historic arched bridge. West Looe offers a superb choice of harbour inns, and the odd specialist arts shop. East Looe is more family orientated with a popular family beach, specialist arts and crafts shops, numerous cafes, restaurants, fish and chips and more. As you wander around the harbour and the pretty narrow streets you will be amazed at the diversity of things to purchase. It would be difficult to choose one pub or restaurant over another in Looe as there is such an eclectic choice.
Looe has many events during the season from carnivals, old lugger racing, a regatta, food festival plus more. Sailing on Looe River, walks on coastal paths, beaches and entertainment is a pleasant surprise.
On the A38 between Liskeard and Plymouth is the famous TRAGO MILLS, with thousands of bargains across 38 departments. Tere is also a delightful riverside walk, with BBQ and picnic areas, plus a café and restaurant. Keep an eye open for the peacocks!
Te ancient Liskeard is where most of the shops are independently owned with many retaining their original Victorian shop fronts. Tere is a pannier market, loads of pubs, places to stay and plenty of activities for the visitor, including concerts etc. For details go to the Town Information Centre and whilst there pick up a copy of the Heritage Trail pointing out all the places of interest including the Pipe Well.
