Free Guided Walk: East Looe – Up and Over

On Tuesday 21st October, join Blue Badge guide and author Mark Camp for a panoramic walk around East Looe.

This scenic route zigzags its way uphill from the station, out to the Wooldown for fantastic views and then loops back into town via the South West Coast Path. If you thought you knew Looe, this walk will prove you don’t!

The Walk

Starting with the 10:48 train from Liskeard, Mark will meet you at Looe station for an 11:20am start.

The walk is approximately 2.5 miles long and should take around 3 hours, finishing in time for the 2:34pm train back from Looe. Expect a mixture of paths and lanes, with some uphill sections, so wear suitable footwear and clothing and bring along a light snack and a drink.

Please note: dogs are not permitted on the walk.
