Looe is an ideal location not only to enjoy the Town, Harbour, Beaches, Coastal Walks, but also as a base to explore all the many attractions of Cornwall a few of which we have listed below. Fowey is only a 20 minute drive, steeped in Daphne du Maurier history and its wonderful natural estuary and harbour. Mining history can be explored on Bodmin Moor which is only 35 minutes drive away, where many of the old mine workings and remains of the Cornish Engine Houses can still be seen. Whilst exploring this area you can also walk through the woods to Golitha Falls, or drive through beautiful countryside to Colliford Reservoir and on to Dozemary Pool of Excalibur fame. NATIONAL MARINE AQUARIUM, PLYMOUTH Housing the largest fish tank in Europe NATIONAL MARITIME MUSEUM CORNWALL Based in Falmouth MONKEY SANCTUARY Environmental charity situated nearby The much publicised Eden Project has been described as the eighth wonder of the world and is now an international visitor attraction. The best time to visit is either first thing at 10am when it opens (9.30am in the Summer) or after 2pm. The quietest days tend to be towards the end of the week so that is worth remembering too!
