Location
Situated on the south coast of Cornwall, Looe is a historic, picturesque and magical fishing town with quaint old buildings, narrow twisting streets, smugglers taverns, fine restaurants and a wonderful sandy beach with shallow seas and a wealth of rock pools. The safe bay and estuary are a favourite with sailing, motorboat and water sports enthusiasts whilst the activities of the fishing fleet are a constant fascination to all. Only a quarter of a mile from the beach is St Georges Island, once a popular landing place for smugglers. Divided into East and West by a seven arch bridge and the Looe river, the main town is on the eastern side and offers a diverse range of shops, good facilities, local amenities and excellent schools. Looe is easily reached by the M5/A38 and is served by a scenic branch railway from Liskeard that connects through to Plymouth and from here the rest of the UK. In addition to this there is also a regional airport at Plymouth with regular flights to London (Gatwick).

Plymouth 20 miles. Liskeard 9 miles. Fowey 12 miles. London approx 240 miles.
