About Looe

A fishing port of some importance in Cornwall. Taking up residence of both sides of the river (hence East Looe and West Looe) they are now joined together via a bridge. East Looe is the busier half housing the harbour and main shopping areas. West Looe still has its fair share of shops and eateries though.
