Places to see in ( Looe - UK )
Looe is a small coastal town, fishing port and civil parish in south-east Cornwall, England. Looe is 20 miles (32 km) west of Plymouth and seven miles (11 km) south of Liskeard, divided in two by the River Looe, East Looe and West Looe (meaning Little Cove) being connected by a bridge. Looe developed as two separate towns each with MPs and its own mayor.
The town centres around a small harbour and along the steep-sided valley of the River Looe which flows between East and West Looe to the sea beside a sandy beach. Offshore to the west, opposite the stonier Hannafore Beach, lies Looe Island.
With the Victorian fashion for seaside holidays, Looe evolved as a tourist town, with nearby Talland Bay being dubbed the playground of Plymouth. This trend continued throughout the 20th century; more and more hotels and tourist facilities were built in the town, and Looe grew and prospered, with peaks in fishing and boatbuilding following the First and Second World Wars. Looe remains a fishing town, and retained several fish dealers operating from the quayside of East Looe until the advent of EU regulations. With its fleet of small fishing boats returning their catches to port daily, Looe has a reputation for procuring excellent fresh fish. The town is also a centre for shark fishing, and is the home of the Shark Angling Club of Great Britain.
Nonetheless, Looe's main business today is tourism, with much of the town given over to hotels, guest houses and holiday homes, along with a large number of pubs, restaurants and beach equipment, ice cream and Cornish pasty vendors. Inland from Looe lie many camping and caravan sites, as well as the famous Woolly Monkey Sanctuary. Other local attractions include the beaches, sailing, fishing and diving, and spectacular coastal walks (especially via Talland to Polperro). South East Cornwall boasts several stately homes, including Antony House, Cotehele, Mount Edgcumbe and Lanhydrock House, as well as the Eden Project near St Austell which tourists can access by road. Outside the busy summer months, the town remains a centre for shopping and entertainment for local villagers. Annually in late September, the town is the destination of choice for thousands of music lovers and top name performers for the Looe Music Festival, which takes place in temporary venues around the town, harbour and on East Looe beach.
East Looe centres on its broad sandy beach, with the distinctive Banjo Pier designed by Joseph Thomas, a new lifeboat station and St Mary's Church. Stretching back from the church is a grid of narrow streets forming the main business area of the town, packed with many small shops, restaurants and pubs and the Old Guildhall, now a museum. Along the estuary lies the quay with its fish merchants. Towards Looe Bridge lies the Victorian Guildhall, and just north of the bridge the railway station. This is the terminus of the Looe Valley branch line to Liskeard, where it connects to the Great Western Main Line and services to London Paddington. On the hilltop above East Looe lies Shutta, and beyond that the Sunrising housing estate and Looe Community Academy. Along the cliffs to the east is Plaidy Beach, and further on the bay and village of Millendreath.
West Looe spreads west from the bridge on the Polperro Road towards Sclerder, and along the river south of the bridge, with hotels, restaurants and boarding houses along the waterfront and houses climbing the perilous cliff above, towards a cluster of shops and businesses and the Church of St. Nicholas. Further south along the coast road is Hannafore Point, marking the edge of Looe Harbour, with to the west the wide, stony Hannafore Beach, facing across a narrow channel to Looe Island. Beyond lies the coastal path leading to Portnadler Bay, Talland and Porthallow, and then onward to Polperro. Two towers mark one end of a nautical measured mile, the other end is marked by two towers near Talland Bay.

Day Trip to Looe in Cornwall
While on holiday in Cornwall, we made the occasional visit to Looe for shopping in the local town farm shop and bakery, and to treat ourselves to a Cornish Cream Tea; but we didn’t stay for the beach. Our preferred beach being Talland Bay because (unlike Looe’s beach) its un-commercialised with the added bonus of having parking right next to the beach with café and toilet. Nevertheless, we enjoyed our visits to Looe.
Because the main streets in the tourist part of Looe (where all the tourist shops, restaurants, pubs, cafes and the beach are) are rather narrow, the main parking is on the outskirts of Looe on the other side of the river; albeit the walk from the main carpark to the town centre and onto the beach (on the opposite side of town) is just a short 10 minutes.

St Paul's Cathedral London - Things to Do in London
There are different things to be visited in London and lots of things to be seen and among the well known attractions, we should mention St. Paul's Cathedral which stands as one of the top cathedrals known in London, England, and which is always important to visit when it comes to this beautiful city.
St. Paul's Cathedral - as its name says - has been dedicated to St. Paul for over 1,400 years at the highest point in the city, Ludgate Hill, attracting millions of visitors to it and giving them the chance and permission to know more about its history. This cathedral in London is an Anglican Cathedral, the seat of the Bishop of London and the mother church of the Diocese of London.
The present time Cathedral, St. Paul's Cathedral, dates back to the 17th century and was designed in the English Baroque style by Sir Christopher Wren. The construction of the Cathedral was completed in Wren's life and was part of a major rebuilding programme in the city after the Great Fire of London. This cathedral is actually believed to be the fourth standing at the same place.
As much as exploring the Cathedral building from outside is considered one of the breathtaking views that travelers to London always feel interested about seeing, also knowing what this building looks like from the inside is considered one of the interesting things for the visitors to explore. There are different parts inside the cathedral to be discovered; there is the high altar, the dome which is the second largest in the world, the crypt where the there tombs are found (Nelson's tomb, Wellington's tomb, Sir Christopher Wren's tomb), the Oculus which is an eye into St. Paul's that is brought through a film that brings the 1,400 years of history, the chapels (All Souls Chapel, St. Dunstan's Chapel, the Chapel of St. Michael and St. George, the Chapel of Erkenwald and St. Ethelburga, the American Memorial Chapel, the Knights Bachelor Chapel, the Order of the British Empire Chapel). Walking through all these different parts of the cathedral will inform the visitor with different information about it and give them the chance to know more about its appearance.
The cathedral is actually one of the most well known sights of London since its dome is actually dominating its sky. The dome of St. Paul's Cathedral stands at 365 feet tall and it was actually the tallest building in London from 1710 to 1967. This dome is one of the highest in the world and it is actually the second highest in the United Kingdom after Liverpool Cathedral.
You could see this cathedral while you are on the hop-on hop-off London bus tour which goes through the streets of the city and get people introduced to the different landmarks and attractions that are found there, and you could also choose to visit the place in order to get inside and check the whole thing and know more about its long history. This will actually depend on the amount of time you are spending in the city of London and the different attractions which you already have on your plan list and which ones you want to visit more than the others.
London is all about the places that one visits the city to go to and from these different places, St. Paul's Cathedral comes on top of the list. In addition to the cathedral, from the important sites that shape the history of London and now are visited by the tourists, there is Big Ben ( Buckingham Palace ( there is the Tower of London ( there is also Churchill War Rooms ( the Houses of Parliament ( and the Royal Court of Justice (
These different places and attractions come in addition to those which one could go to in order to have some fun time with the rest of the family members or else just to free the mind from the hassle of the city for a couple of hours - or even less, it all depends on the amount of time one will be spending in London.

Places to see in ( Kingsand - UK )
Kingsand and Cawsand are twin villages in southeast Cornwall, United Kingdom. The villages are situated on the Rame Peninsula and in the parish of Maker-with-Rame. Until boundary changes in 1844 Kingsand was in Devon; Cawsand, however, was always in Cornwall. On the old county boundary between the two villages there is still a house called Devon Corn, which has the marker on the front of the house. The villages are popular with tourists but retain their traditional character.
The villages are well known for their smuggling and fishing past. Although the known smuggling tunnels have been sealed up, there are still old fish cellars and boat stores to be seen along the coast.
One notable former resident was John Pollard RN. He was a midshipman (later a Commander) in the Navy who served under Nelson and is the man credited with being Nelson's avenger, since it was he who shot the French sailor who killed the Admiral. Nelson himself has also been said to have visited the village and dined at The Ship Inn (now closed). Other notable residents have included Tabitha Ransome (Arthur Ransome's daughter) and also Ann Davison who was to become the first woman to sail the Atlantic single handed in 1953 and departing from Mashfords boatyard.
Kingsand lies on the shores of Cawsand Bay, with the South West Coast Path running through the village. The village coast, as well as the coast 1 km to the east forms the Kingsand to Sandway Point SSSI (Site of Special Scientific Interest), which shows examples of extensive early Permian volcanicity. The South West Coast Path passes through Kingsand.
Kingsand is connected via the Rame bus link to Plymouth. The Rame bus link runs between Cremyll and goes to Plymouth via Torpoint. In Summer, the Cawsand Ferry runs a passenger service between Cawsand Beach and the Mayflower Steps in Plymouth for visitors to the Barbican. Walkers can reach the village by walking through Mount Edgcumbe Country Park.
A key feature of the villages is the Clocktower along the seafront of Kingsand. It was erected to commemorate the coronation of King George V and the building it is attached to (locally referred to as the Institute) is used as a community hall. The Institute also contains a large cross-stitch tapestry picture of the two villages which was made by residents to commemorate the golden jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II.
There are three main beaches in the villages, which are separated by areas of rocks with interesting rockpools. Kingsand Beach is a mixture of sand and shingle which is located along The Cleave. Girt Beach is mainly shingle, but with some sand and can be found along Market Street. Cawsand Beach is mainly sand and is found along The Bound. A swimming beach known as Sandways lies a short walk out of the village across the rocks towards Fort Picklecombe.
