Looe

Looe is a small coastal town in South East Cornwall. It lies around 20 miles from Plymouth and 7 miles South of Liskeard. Situated around a small harbour and along a steep-sided valley, Looe is in fact two towns, East Looe and West Looe, connected by a bridge, similar to those of you that have visited Budapest.
