Are you hoping to find attractions to visit in the city? Although it can be tempting to stay in your comfortable holiday rental, you'll want to check out everything that makes Looe a fun spot to go on holiday. Here are some of the top attractions to see, all within 30 miles (48.2 km) of the city centre:
Just a stone's throw from the old Victorian harbour at Looe, the Polperro Heritage Coast begins to unfold. It's a lovely length of beautiful Cornish coastline that's fringed with bracing cliff walks. Among the iconic routes is the section that goes from Polperro. It runs for miles over blustery headlands and rocky outcrops, passing the jutting stones of Hore Point and historic smuggler's coves, all before ending back at the doorstep of Looe holiday rentals, in Looe itself. For adventures out at sea, you can pull on the waterproofs and hop on a marine safari. Trips across to Looe Island are great for those – keep the eyes peeled for sightings of seals, dolphins and seabirds.
Whether you're an adventurous traveller or just want to appreciate the scenery, Looe is a great place to spend some time outside. These are some of the area's most eye-catching sights, all within 30 miles (48.2 km) of the city centre:
The nearest airport is in Newquay (NQY-Newquay Cornwall), located 22.9 mi (36.9 km) from the city centre.
If you prefer train travel, make your way to Looe Station or Sandplace Station to see more of the city.
Pack a decent pair of shoes and you should find that you'll be able to walk to most places from a Looe holiday home located near the heart of the town. Be ready to navigate a few old, crooked lanes, though, and consider that you might need to climb the steep-sided edges of the valley to reach your doorstep. Because this corner of Cornwall is largely rural, it's not got too many local bus links. That makes a car pretty much indispensable if you're looking to escape to rustic Looe holiday cottages around the Polperro Heritage Coast and beyond.
Though it's quite close to the county border with Devon, Looe is still firmly in Cornwall. That means all the culinary treats of the region are still on the menu, here. A cream tea with cushiony scones and homemade jam? Just delve into 1 of the charming cafes along Higher Market Street. A meat-packed, veg-heavy Cornish pasty? There are bakeries that churn them out all over the place. Seafood is another staple – Looe was once a town totally reliant on fishing, in fact. Whether it's griddled bream or fresh John Dory, don't miss a fillet of that tasty English Channel bounty.
