LOOE
LOOE EAST & WEST The beautiful Cornish harbour town of Looe sits on both sides of the river Looe. East and West Looe were once separate towns. In the 15th Century a bridge was built connecting them. This bridge has had various rebuilds, the current bridge was built in 1853 The main shopping area, holiday accommodation, Looe Harbour and as a safe sandy beach is in East Looe. West Looe is quieter but still has shops, restaurants and places to stay. The bustling harbour used to be full of working fishing boats, but even though the number of boats employed within the fishing industry has diminished. It is still busy with boats now more likely to be used for pleasure trips and other recreational activities. Looe has been famous as a holiday destination for hundreds of years and is still popular; welcoming visitors from the UK and further afield all year round.
