  • LOOE | Tour of Looe Cornwall UK from town centre to Looe Beach | A 4K Walking Tour through the stunning seaside town off Looe, Cornwall, England
    Also watch our tour of Padstow Cornwall - • PADSTOW CORNWALL | Ful...
    We took the Gimbal Walk TV cameras to the beautiful seaside fishing town of Looe in Cornwall for a walk down the narrow streets of the town centre, and down to Looe Beach to see what's happening in this fab holiday tourist destination!
    There are so many reasons to take a holiday in Looe 2021 from the hotels and guesthouses, the stunning views, the little shopping streets, the pubs and bars and the fantastic restaurants.But most of all the boat trips and Looe Beach are the main attractions here. Holidaymakers and tourists flock here for their holidays and day trips.
    Looe is still a fishing town but tourism is most definitely now at the forefront of life in this Cornish town.
    We start our walk on the bridge that links the east and west sides of the town, before heading down Fore Street and Bulller Street and down to East Looe Beach Cornwall.
    Holidays in Cornwall are always popular and coming to this town is no different with the place being extremely busy during holiday season.
    I hope you enjoy this Cornwall walk - if so why not subscribe for more and to see where I go next!

    Hello from Brisbane Australia. I really enjoyed this tour of Looe. We stayed in Looe in Dec 2018 for a week and it was the sweetest most beautiful place. I am so glad we were there in winter as it is certainly a thriving and busy place in summer. We stayed in an old smugglers cottage. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.

      Hello! My family and me stayed in Smugglers Cottage too! Love the story behind the cottage and we went out to the restaurant right next to the cottage nearly every evening we were there! I can’t remeber the name of the restaurant, but it was good!

    Another charming village of Cornwall. I loved walking with you down the long, windy, narrow streets with families enjoying themselves in the English sun. The three layers or more of colored cottages clinging against the mountain side blows my minds how they ever were placed so carefully there.. I was surprised to see Betty Boop standing around watching the crowds go by. I love to watch people too Betty! When you brought us to the beach, I was quite amazed about the amount of people there! I've never see a British beach so overflowing of beach dwellers before in the ten years I lived there. The sand color seems to be unlike no other I've seen on either side of the great pond. Almost a gray? I can't wait to see where you take us on our next walk! :)

    You can also get to the beach more quickly by turning left up Higher Market Street and you can stop and have a beer in the lovely old Fisherman's Arms on the way.
    You should have taken this video before the harbour master pulled the plug out as he does every morning (yes, some of them do ask where the water went haha). The only person I saw who I know was Johnny playing his guitar. If you'd timed it right you may have also caught Alastair, one of the town nutters throwing a tantrum near the beach - that often gives the tourists a bit of excitement to liven their day..
    Oh and when you did West Loose you missed out the Jolly Sailor. It's in the square behind the Fire station just off the quay and is about 500 years old.

    I used to live in East Looe, it's a beautiful place and so peaceful when not full of tourists. Of course, they're a necessity for the good of the town, so we put up with it all. All the parking bays are numbered and can only be used by designated residents, which is a very good thing because it prevents visitors parking and keeps the narrow streets clear. My house in the oldest part of town, had a garage at ground level. Lucky me. It's a pity you didn't venture along the old town and its pretty cottages. Maybe next time

    My family visited Looe several times during the 60s, to spend the day shark-fishing in a lugger, or drifter. Solid, wooden-hulled vessels. None of those seen in your video, just fibre-glass motor-cruisers. Do hope they still exist.
    Never caught a shark, but always came back with a stock of whiting, pollock & mackerel and, on one occasion, a huge conger eel - which we left with the skipper!

  • @davecooper3238
    @davecooper3238 2 роки тому

    Visited Looe as a child in the mid to late 1950. Stayed once in West Looe. The second time in East Looe. Remember the shark fishing boats coming in. The thing I remember most was a cave. Found by walking east along the beach. Through a gap in the finger of rock that sticks out into the sea. The cave into the cliff at beach level & just the right size for 10/12 year old boys. Wondered if the cave still existed. But seeing the very end of the video makes me wonder if has been built over.
    Edit :- I have now watched another video & wonder if the cave has been the victim of a cliff fall.
