Looe, Fishing port in Cornwall, England

The town stretches across both sides of the River Looe, with East and West Looe connected by a Victorian bridge built over the harbor.

Archaeological findings, including stone axes and bronze age tumuli, indicate human settlement in the Looe area dating back to the Neolithic period.

The small fishing fleet continues the centuries-old maritime tradition, bringing fresh catches daily to the harbor and local restaurants.

Visitors can reach Looe via the Looe Valley Line train service, which follows the river route, or by road connections from Plymouth and Liskeard.

The Banjo Pier, constructed in a curved shape, has protected the harbor entrance and provided a viewing platform for over two centuries.
