Looe

Looe is a tiny coastal town, fishing port as well as civil parish in south-east Cornwall, England, with a population of 5,280 at the 2011 census. Looe is 20 miles (32 kilometres) west of Plymouth and 7 miles (11 kilometres) south of Liskeard, divided in two by the River Looe, East Looe as well as West Looe being linked by a bridge. Looe established as two different communities each with MPs and also its own mayor. The town centres around a little harbour and also along the steep-sided valley of the River Looe which moves in between East and also West Looe to the sea next to a sandy beach. Offshore to the west, opposite the stonier Hannafore Beach, exists Looe Island. Looe stays a fishing town, and retained a number of fish suppliers running from the East Looe quayside until the arrival of EU policies. With its fleet of little fishing boats returning their catches to port daily, Looe has a track record for obtaining excellent fresh fish. The town is also a centre for shark angling, and also is home to the Shark Angling Club of Great Britain. However, Looe's main business today is tourist, with much of the town given over to hotels, bed and breakfast and holiday houses, in addition to a multitude of bars, restaurants and coastline tools, ice cream and Cornish pasty vendors. Inland from Looe exist lots of outdoor camping and campers websites, in addition to the famous Woolly Monkey Sanctuary. Other local tourist attractions include the coastlines, sailing, fishing as well as diving, as well as spectacular coastal strolls (especially via Talland to Polperro). South East Cornwall boasts a number of manor houses, consisting of Antony Residence, Cotehele, Mount Edgcumbe as well as Lanhydrock House, along with the Eden Project near St Austell which travelers can access by road.
