The Walk

Mark will be waiting to greet you at Looe train station at 11:20am. From there, set off to explore some of West Looe’s lesser-known spots, discovering bits of the town you may not have noticed before, along with some great views across to East Looe.

As always, Mark will share his knowledge of Looe’s history and stories as you walk along – and he might even throw in a hill or two, just for fun.

The walk is approximately 3.5 miles long and may be muddy in places, so please wear appropriate footwear and clothing. Be sure to bring a bite to eat and a drink along the way.

Please note: dogs are not permitted on the walk.

Get there by train

From Plymouth, catch the 10:14 train, arriving into Liskeard at 10:41. This gives you a few minutes to hop off and make your way over to platform 3 to catch the Looe Valley Line train departing at 10:48, arriving into Looe at 11:16. Mark will be waiting to meet you at the station.

If coming from Liskeard, head straight to platform 3 to catch the 10:48 to Looe.

The walk aims to finish by 15:00, allowing you enough time to have a look around some shops and walk back to the station for the 15:45 train home.
