Looe
Looe is a little seaside community, angling port as well as 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 and seven miles (11 kilometres) south of Liskeard, divided in two by the River Looe, East Looe as well as West Looe being attached by a bridge. Looe created as 2 different communities each with MPs and also its own mayor. The community centres around a small harbour as well as along the steep-sided valley of the River Looe which moves in between East and also West Looe to the sea next to a sandy coastline. Offshore to the west, opposite the stonier Hannafore Beach, exists Looe Island. Looe remains an angling town, and retained a number of fish dealers running from the East Looe quayside up until the development of EU guidelines. With its fleet of small fishing watercrafts returning their catches to port daily, Looe has an online reputation for procuring exceptional fresh fish. The town is also a centre for shark fishing, as well as is house to the Shark Angling Club of Great Britain. Nonetheless, Looe's primary organisation today is tourism, with much of the town given over to resorts, guest houses and holiday residences, together with a multitude of bars, restaurants as well as coastline equipment, gelato and Cornish pasty suppliers. Inland from Looe lie many outdoor camping and campers websites, along with the famous Woolly Monkey Sanctuary. Other regional destinations include the beaches, cruising, fishing and also diving, as well as spectacular coastal walks (especially using Talland to Polperro). South East Cornwall boasts several manor houses, including Antony Home, Cotehele, Mount Edgcumbe and also Lanhydrock House, along with the Eden Project near St Austell which visitors can access by road.
