Accessible Guide to Looe

Access Cornwall has produced an Accessible Guide to Looe showcasing places to stay, eat, visit and explore that welcome people with disabilities. The guide was produced for Looe Town Council, East Looe Town Trust, West Looe Town Trust and Looe Harbour Commissioners.

The guide includes restaurants and cafés, places to stay, things to do and information about the beaches in Looe. There is also comprehensive information about parking, getting around town, and publicly available accessible toilets.

The information is tailored not only for wheelchair users but also for those with sight/hearing impairments and learning differences, with details of where streets might be particularly busy, or with strong smells or loud noises.

There are options to suit every budget - from fine dining to beachfront cafés, hotels and self-catering cottages to a holiday park - and for all ages.

Looe has two excellent museums, two amusement arcades, countless shops and galleries, and even a store dedicated to Harry Potter.

Getting to Looe couldn’t be easier. The town is on one of the most tranquil and scenic railway branch lines, leaving from the mainline station at Liskeardit’s well worth a visit all by itself. Keep your eyes peeled for herons!

A team of Access Cornwall reviewers visited Looe, checking out all the places included in the guide and speaking with staff or management to ensure we have the best and most up-to-date information. We think it’s a great cross-section, and would be delighted to hear your suggestions for places that actively welcome people with disabilities so we can include them on our website www.accesscornwall.org.uk
