A coastal walk with a difference! On Tuesday 10th September, set off on a scenic 6-mile walk from Looe station to the coast via West Looe Downs, following lesser-known paths and lanes.

The Walk

Professional Blue Badge tour guide Mark Camp will be waiting to greet you at Looe station at 11.04 (see below for train times from Plymouth and Liskeard). Join him as you take lesser-known routes to reach The South West Coast Path, with plenty of stunning views along the way.

You will return to Looe by heading east along the coast, with a chance to stop at Hannafore for refreshments before walking back to the station to catch the 16.25 or 17.25 train home.

The walk is approximately 6 miles long. Please be sure to bring a packed lunch, plenty of water and don’t forget to wear appropriate shoes and clothing. Please note the walk begins with a steep climb. No dogs please.
