Looe
Looe is a tiny coastal town, fishing port and 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 as well as seven miles (11 kilometres) south of Liskeard, divided in two by the River Looe, East Looe and West Looe being attached by a bridge. Looe established as two separate communities each with MPs and its own mayor. The town centres around a little harbour as well as along the steep-sided valley of the River Looe which flows in between East and West Looe to the sea next to a sandy beach. Offshore to the west, opposite the stonier Hannafore Beach, exists Looe Island. Looe continues to be a fishing community, as well as maintained a number of fish suppliers operating from the East Looe quayside up until the development of EU laws. With its fleet of little fishing watercrafts returning their catches to port daily, Looe has a track record for procuring excellent fresh fish. The town is also a centre for shark fishing, and is residence to the Shark Angling Club of Great Britain. Nevertheless, Looe's main organisation today is tourist, with much of the community given over to resorts, guest houses and also holiday houses, together with a large number of bars, restaurants as well as coastline devices, gelato and also Cornish pasty vendors. Inland from Looe exist several camping as well as caravan sites, along with the famous Woolly Monkey Sanctuary. Other neighborhood destinations consist of the coastlines, cruising, fishing as well as diving, as well as spectacular coastal walks (specifically through Talland to Polperro). South East Cornwall flaunts numerous manor houses, including Antony Home, Cotehele, Mount Edgcumbe and Lanhydrock House, as well as the Eden Project near St Austell which visitors can access by road.
