Nearby Towns and Beaches Surrounding Tencreek Caravan Park are miles of beaches, beautiful countryside and towns of interest to the holidaymaker. The closest town to Tencreek is LOOE. Looe is divided into 2 towns facing each other across the river, joined by Looe bridge Looe built in 1855.

East Looe is the busier of the two towns, with narrow streets from which traffic is prohibited during the summer months. Before exploring it is best to park in the Millpool car park which can be found a few hundred yards out of town on the Polperro road.

Along the quay a good hour or so can be spent watching fishing boats unload, and sharks being weighed. Looe is the headquarters of the Shark Angling Club of Great Britain. Anyone inspired enough can try their hand at fishing with self-drive boats for hire, together with skippered boats taking anglers out to catch mackerel, conger and sharks.

In the town itself are numerous shops, restaurants, cafes and pubs, which lead to the seafront, beach and pier. The walk from Millpool car park (the furthest) to the beach will take about 15 minutes. Please note that dogs are not permitted on this beach.

On the other side of the river is West Looe, which can be reached either by the bridge or via a passenger ferry which punts from side to side depending on the state of the tide. More shops, cafes, coach tours and taxis can be found on the quay which has a road running alongside taking you to Hannafore.

Free parking is available at Hannafore, but only to those who arrive early. The beach here is mainly shingle, and with high tide falling, gives way to rocks with sandy patches. Perhaps more of a rock pool beach than a sunbathing one, but nevertheless it has some spectacular views of the channel.

Following the road that runs the length of Hannafore (to the end), the cliff path starts, which takes you from Looe to Polperro. Many people take this route either by bus or taxi back to the park.

TALLAND BAY is the next beach of any significance along the cliff path, although it can also be reached by road, following the signposts near Tencreek. For those staying at Tencreek, a public footpath passes through the touring field and leads to Talland Bay.

Tencreek West Looe

As with Hannafore, the sand is more in evidence at low tide with the beach itself rocky with sandy patches. Shore fishing is popular here, with regular catches of wrasse and occasional bass. Bottom fishing is not recommended. Facilities at the beach include toilets, cafe and car park.

Access to Talland Bay is by narrow lanes, which can prove annoying in the busier months, but once there, the beach is easily reached from the car park.

POLPERRO, 4 miles from Looe, is more famous for its fishing and smuggling than bathing, but is definitely worth a visit, if only to savour the atmosphere created by generations gone by. Car Polperro parking, as with Looe, is prohibited in the village itself and, with the streets and lanes being so narrow, the car park at the top of the village makes good sense.

After parking here you can wander through the shops to the harbour where, in the last century a crew of customs officers were stationed on a boat as a measure against smuggling. From either side of the harbour, cliff paths take you back to Looe or on to Lantic Bay. Before walking on, make sure you look back to enjoy the bird’s eye view of Polperro, one of the most scenic and photographed views in Cornwall.

The next beach marked on the map is LANSALLOS BEACH, which is 15 minutes walk or so from the village of Lansallos.

Here there is a National Trust car park and it is suggested that you park here. Generally quiet and peaceful, as are most beaches situated further off the beaten track, Lansallos is sandy and very attractive, but unfortunately there are no amenities here.

LANTIC BAY is situated along the Polperro to Polruan road, 2 or 3 miles from Polperro. Look for the signpost to Pencarrow Head from which a 20 minute walk to the cliff Lantic Bay top gives a view used in years past by smugglers.

Access down to the beach is by 2 paths, both steep, and with the cliff top 400 feet above sea level, it can be very sheltered

Nearby Towns and Beaches even with a strong offshore breeze. Again the beach, which is fairly remote, has no amenities, but remember, with a 20 minute walk and no shops or cafes, a beach like this can provide the privacy and peacefulness which makes for a relaxing day out.

Set either side of the River Fowey, POLRUAN and FOWEY are connected by the Bodinnick car ferry and by a passenger ferry from Polruan itself. Neither village is particularly suitable for bathing, but again worth visiting. Polruan has a car park at the top of the village and, with a steep, narrow descent to the harbour with only Fowey a few parking spaces available, it is advisable to use it. A few hours spent here can be most rewarding before either driving to Fowey, or crossing the river by passenger ferry.

The ancient town of Fowey, steeped in history, has a harbour now filled with pleasure boats, although further up the river bigger boats load up with china clay. Boat trips to Lerryn, Mevagissey, Looe and Polperro can be taken from the town quay, along with self-drive motor boats. Panoramic walks along the cliffs give views of rolling countryside and, naturally, the sea. One suggested walk is to St. Catherine’s Castle. All in all, a day spent in and around Fowey and Polruan would be a day to remember.

Reached either by road or cliff path, east of Looe, is PLAIDY . All types of boats and watersports can be hired here and the owners of the beach also offer a launching service for private boats and yachts. Toilets and food are also available.

= Dog friendly beach

Unfortunately there is no parking near the beach. From Plaidy take the cliff path to East Looe which provides a pleasant walk with interesting views.

Taking the road back towards Plymouth as far as Hessenford, and then following the signs to Seaton, you will find a fairly large beach at SEATON . The beach consists of grey sand and pebbles with easy access and safe bathing. In fact, cars are allowed to park on the beach. Floats and deckchairs are available for hire, with a shop nearby and cafe and toilets on the beach.

The road from Seaton runs in an easterly direction to DOWNDERRY , with many access points to a beach of the same type as above. The easiest access point to the sands is by the Inn on the Shore, situated right on the beach.

PORTWRINKLE can be reached by taking the signposted lane off the B3247. Here there is an old harbour with a beach of grey sand and stones. No amenities here, and more suitable for fishing than bathing.

WHITSAND BAY is a 4 mile stretch of sand which is very attractive. However, it must be noted that it is a dangerous beach with many fatalities. Voluntary lifeguards are present only at weekends. Access is down over cliff paths with the beach falling very steeply into the sea, proving dangerous for bathing, but ideal for fishing. There are no facilities on the beach, although there are some at the top of the cliffs.

The towns of KINGSAND and CAWSAND face east, and afford splendid views of Plymouth Sound. Both have small sand and shingle beaches and are ideal for bathing, fishing and boating.

Slipways are available with boats for hire at Cawsand. There is a small car park for early birds with a much larger one at Cawsand for others. A cafe and toilet are present on the beach with the usual shops in the towns. Definitely worth a visit for the day.

Beach Safety By following our safety tips below, you will be sure of having a relaxed and enjoyable holiday On the Beach:

DO read and obey warning notices DO bathe within any patrolled areas DO obey the lifeguard’s advice DON’T bathe when the RED FLAG is flying

In the Sea:

Always swim in the company of others Don’t swim - if you feel unwell - for at least an hour after meals - for at least an hour after consuming alcohol - when you are cold or tired Children can drown in shallow water - watch them continuously Inflatables are dangerous in the sea

If you get into difficulties: Remain calm and do not exhaust yourself Float on your back

Attract attention by waving one arm and shouting for help Swim diagonally across, or float and go with the current

If someone else gets into difficulty: Contact a lifeguard (if available) Dial 999 and ask for the coastguard - then stay by the telephone Use rescue equipment, but enter the water only if you are a strong swimmer

Beware of the unexpected: The sea bottom is not flat - the waves may sweep the sand from under your feet You can’t see the currents that carry you away The sea is usually cold, even on a warm day - remember, cold can kill Do not snorkel in rough seas or if you have breathing problems Beware of being trapped by an incoming tide

Out & About in Cornwall & Devon Tencreek Holiday Park is the perfect place as a base to explore Cornwall and Devon.

Beautiful walks, beaches, local attractions and theme parks are only a car journey away.

“Porfell Wildlife Park and Sanctuary” is not far from Tencreek and it gives you a chance to “meet the creatures” and there are lots of them. You will see wallabies, marmosets, snakes, lemurs, meerkats, “Bert” the capybara and loads of farmyard animals and pets.

A lovely day out for couples and families alike especially on fine days when you can enjoy the beautiful, tranquil walks around the park (watch out for the peacocks!), perhaps have a picnic or a visit to the tea rooms and best of all enjoy feeding some of the animals.

Why not walk or drive from Tencreek to Hannafore and stop for a pint or bar snack at “Tom Sawyers Tavern”.

Your visit to Looe will not be complete without a fishing trip. Visit the “Shark Angling Club of Great Britain” situated on Looe Quay for professional advice and your choice of experienced skippers on board Jo-Dan, Carrie Jane, Progress or Typhoon and get a chance to catch your fish for dinner. If you can’t be bothered to cook that fish after your busy day or as a treat, relax with traditional fare at “Dave’s Diner” your local friendly chip shop where you can sit and watch the boats go by.

You will have heard of the “Eden Project” - now come and see the globally unique experience. If you have been before, constantly changing Eden will keep you interested with new and interesting features. For children there are new trails, endless leafy places with hideaways, stepping stones and sandpits. Visit the environmental biomes from tropical rainforests to arid deserts in the worlds biggest greenhouse. While you are in St Austell you must visit the “Lost Gardens of Heligan” a world renowned restored and productive garden and pleasure attraction. Enjoy the flora and fauna in acres of this tranquil estate.

Fistral Beach, Newquay

Newquay is definitely worth a day (or two) out. It does not get the reputation of being the “experience capital of the UK” for nothing. Newquay is famous for its surfing and surfing schools, the glorious beaches, the nightlife, shops, galleries and lots of family attractions and fun.

While there don’t miss a visit to “Tunnels Through Time” in St Michaels Road. This is an all weather attraction cleverly portraying fact and fiction from Cornwalls bygone days in an exciting and imaginative way. So, for a peek at past times, recreated with realistic characters, set in well crafted displays, head for the BIG pink building. The fainthearted can avoid the dungeon scenes - the original visitors were not so lucky!

Visit the Manors, Gardens and Castles of Cornwall and Devon. There are so many nearby all within an hours drive from Tencreek. Visit the manors such as Mount Edgecumbe, Anthony, Lanhydrock, Tintagel, Cotehele and many more or explore the majestic castles of St Mawes, Pendennis, Restormel and Tintagel.

Whatever you do and wherever you go you will have a great time visiting the many attractions throughout Cornwall and Devon using Tencreek as a relaxing haven and base after your day out.

A Brief History of Looe Archaeological evidence such as the so called “Giants Hedge” an ancient earthwork running between the Looe and Fowey estuaries indicated that the area around Looe (Logh in Cornish) was inhabited as early as 1000BC. It is thought to have been built in the 6th century by a local chieftain to defend his territory against neighbouring clans. Patches of the “Giants Hedge” still survive as an earth bank 2 metres high. The Stone Circle at Bin Down (from the Cornish “Bin Dun” meaning “Hill Fort”) also dates from this period.

East and West Looe originated as separate towns, separated by the estuary. They were first mentioned in 1201. An early wooden bridge over the Looe River was in place by 1411. This burnt down and was replaced by the first stone bridge with 14 arches completed in 1436 and featuring a chapel dedicated to St Anne in the middle.

This bridge was demolished and replaced in 1853 by the current bridge about 100 yards further upstream.

Some time before 1144 a monastic order began using Looe Island, and built a chapel there. The monks may have provided a rudimentary lighthouse service using beacons. Another chapel sat opposite on the mainland

at Hannafore, just outside of West Looe. Both chapels are now marked only by ruins and have recently featured on Channel 4’s “Time Team”.

In the 18th and 19th centuries smuggling, along with fishing and boat building was a major industry in Cornwall. Looe Island was an ideal staging post for landing and concealing goods until it was safe to ferry them to the mainland.

The Looe-Liskeard Union Canal was built in 1828 enabling the efficient transport of copper, tin and granite from the moors to the thriving port. The industrial success necessitated the building of the large quay at East Looe in 1860. Due to the demands of the shipping trade the canal was no longer able to keep up with demand, and a railway line was built along the towpath.

The railway began carrying passengers in 1879.

The 20th century with the Victorian fashion for seaside holidays saw Looe become a tourist town. This trend continued until we have the successful tourist town of Looe as seen today.

USEFUL INFORMATION WALK INTO LOOE Walking on the main road is very dangerous. A safer route is to turn right out of the park entrance, turn right again staying on our country lane, and then take the immediate left by the small triangle of grass signposted to the town centre, keep on this road downhill. The walk to Looe will take approximately 25 minutes.

THE LOOE-POLPERRO COASTAL PATH

Looe

The coastal path can be reached without leaving Tencreek. Turn left out of Reception, cross the touring park until you reach the line of Touring caravans along the back hedge. Follow the hedge down until you see the maintenance building. Two touring caravans before the maintenance building you will see a gate in the hedge. Through the gate and across a couple of fields and you will reach the coastal path. Talland Bay is approximately 20 minutes walk. Looe is about an hour and a half and Polperro two hours along the coastal path. These are beautiful walks along the Cornish coast, with amazing views. The coastal path is not suitable for pushchairs.

Polperro

BUS, TRAINS AND TAXIS We do not include bus or train times, but information is available from reception. Buses run regularly from the end of the lane from Tencreek by the main road. Tencreek to Polperro stand by the boat with flowers in. Tencreek to Looe stand on the opposite side of the road. (Local enquiries - 0871 2002233).

The train station is in Looe, cross the bridge and turn left.

The train station is about a quarter of a mile away on the left (Local enquiries - 0871 2002233).

There are lots of taxi firms in the Looe and Polperro area.
