We stumbled upon this lovely little place whilst exploring Looe on holiday - the owner of the shop was very welcoming and clearly explained the process of creating our goodies. I spent about an hour and a half painting a coffee mug (my partner didn't fancy his talents with a brush) which was very enjoyable and surprisingly therapeutic. Once I was finished the shop owner took my details to have the mug posted home as we would be leaving before it was ready to collect after glazing and firing. The cost of postage (and the whole process really) was very reasonable. I would definitely recommend spending some time here, and will come back to paint again if I'm ever in the area!

Support a charity and visit Wild Futures Monkey Sanctuary offering a safe haven for monkeys since 1964. Nestled into the side of the south Cornish coast between Looe and Seaton, Wild Futures’ Monkey Sanctuary cares for a range of different species of rescued monkeys, giving visitors an intimate insight to a working sanctuary and a chance to meet some of its amazing monkey residents and wildlife inhabitants. There’s a lot to do for the whole family who can take a tour of the monkey enclosures and learn about these fascinating animals from the team of expert carers. It’s not just monkeys though! Kids will love the wild play area where they can learn about the environment around them and let off some steam in the playground. Take a gentle stroll around the beautiful Wildlife Gardens and check out the sea view.

The monkey sanctuary is exactly what it says a 'sanctuary' .The people who run it are so knowledgeable and give you lots of information on all the monkeys they have rescued. The vegetarian and vegan food is lovely. We all had alovely day out.
7. Looe Island

Reviewed By Rubymint - Leicester, United Kingdom
I didn’t realise that you can now visit the island - I’m really glad that we did. The boat from Looe Harbour costs £10 per person and the landing fee is £4 each - I believe it should be more to support the great work being performed by the Cornwall Wildlife Trust to enable the wildlife on the island to prosper. We were blessed with great weather - You have to go, if only to appreciate watching the seals from ‘Point 7’
8. Looe to Polperro walk
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 968 reviews
A 5.4 mile moderate coastal walk along the South West Coast Path taking in a holy legend, a 6th century monastery, an 18th century eccentric and a 19th century engineer. There are rockpools on the beaches, remnants of shipwrecks, tales of smugglers, and the walk ends with a stroll up through the picturesque fishing village of Polperro to Crumplehorn, where you can catch a bus back to Looe.

We caught the bus from our b&b in Looe in Polperro which is a lovely little harbour town in itself and well worth a wonder around. In the grand scheme of cliff walks, this one is fairly easy and around 6 miles. It’s a little craggy out of Polperro and you are very close to the cliff edge in places, but nothing you can’t handle with the right footwear. There’s a nice stop off at Talland Bay for refreshments just under half way. You also walk through a lovely nature reserve and we had the robins singing to us all of the way through! The views are spectacular as you’d expect. Highly recommended.
9. Talland Bay & the Giant's Hedge Walk
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 39 reviews
An inspirational South West Coast Path walk for those who don’t mind a challenge, this route takes in an important 1200 years old ancient boundary wall. This varied walk wanders through the wooded estuary of the West Looe River before crossing the coastal plateau to Talland where it joins the SWCP and follows it back to Looe station.

We followed the Kilminorth Woods red route for a beautiful morning walk while staying in Looe. Enjoyed it so much we ran the route in reverse later in the day. There are three clearly signposted walks marked in the woods; Red is the longest at about 3 miles between West Looe Car Park and Watergate. Stunning views, with sightings of kingfisher, many little egrets, heron, cormorants, sparrowhawk and bullfinches in the woods. The sights changed throughout the day as the river is tidal. The red route is challenging in places - some steep climbs and steps but alternatives are marked clearly. One of our highlights of Looe and highly recommend for keen walkers and runners
10. Millendreath Beach

Reviewed By NobertSharp14 - Bristol, United Kingdom
We stayed 500m up the road from Millendreath Beach. It’s a private beach, so it’s lovely and clean, whilst it’s not the biggest beach, it is certainly still beautiful. Water is lovely and clean and we have 2 dogs who were also able to run around and go swimming so they loved it as well. There’s a lovely cafe on the seafront as well, which serve breakfast, lunch and dinner and hot and cold drinks as well as Alcoholic drinks! Really lovely little place to go to!
