Looe - Pilchard
, copper & smuggling have all played
a part in Looe's prosperity, but today only the fishing remains and caring
for the visitor. As Cornwall's second most important fishing port, you'll
always find colourful trawlers coming and going with great hustle
at the fish auction held in East Looe's quay side market. You can take advantage of the many boat trips around Looe Island & beyond, whilst the real adventurer can head out for deeper water in pursuit of fishing or diving. Enjoy a stroll along Banjo Pier or sit and watch the world go by in the many restaurants & cafes. |

Polperro - The
town is virtually traffic free so you can either travel by horse-drawn
carriage, omnibus or simply wander at leisure through the narrow streets
which lead down to the harbour. Fishing trips and pleasure cruises are
easily arranged giving a smuggler's eye view of the spectacular coastline,
or you can uncover secret paths from Polperro to the coves of Talland
and Lantivet along the South West Coast Path. Between the cottages,
in the small shops and converted sail loft, you can browse through local
crafts, jewellery and artists studios, or sample the delights of the
finest Cornish confectionery. The museum of Smuggling is a must, too! |
|
| Liskeard - Places of interest include the
guildhall with its clock tower built in 1859, the Foresters Hall Home to
the towns Museum and tourist information office and Stuart House where
Charles 1 stayed in 1644. Take a scenic trip on the Looe Valley line along wooded riverbanks. Or visit the excellent leisure facilities at Lux Park Leisure Centre. To the north west of Liskeard lies Bodmin Moor mad e famous by Daphne du Maurier's Jamaica Inn. The moors shrouded in mist and mystery hold abundant clues for those who want to delve into the past - burial chambers and holy wells, giant stones and Bronze Age settlements, decayed mine working and disuses quarries. |

Houses & GardensSouth East Cornwall has many great houses and gardens such as Mont Edgcumbe Country Park, created in the time of Henry VIII and the National Trust Properties of Cotehele, Anthony and Lanhydrock, surrounded by parklands and gardens. |
||
 |
Mount Edgcumbe House - Across the water from the historic City of Plymouth lies the great Cornish House of Mount Edgcumbe. The House was built between 1547 and 1553 for the renowned Edgcumbe family of Cotehele and became the home of the Earls of Mount Edgcumbe. | |
| Cotehele
House - Enchanted
and remote, perched high above the wooden banks of the Tamar, Cotehele was owned by the Edgcumbe family for nearly six centuries. One of the least-altered medieval houses in the country, it contains original furniture, armour and a remarkable set of tapestries. |
 |
|
 |
Lanhydrock House - The grandest and most welcoming house in Cornwall, Lanhydrock is superbly set in 450 acres of woods and parkland running down to the Fowey river and encircled by formal and woodland gardens, lovely in all seasons. Dating from the 17th century but largely re-built after a fire in 1881, Lanhydrock has 50 rooms on show giving an extraordinary glimpse into the life of a Victorian country house from the children's nursery wing and the splendid comforts of the state rooms to the fascinating warren of kitchens, larders and sculleries 'below stairs'. There is a restaurant and shop in the house and plant sales in the car-park. | |
Lost Gardens
of Heligan - The award winning
Lost Gardens of Heligan, asleep for more than seventy years, are now
the scene of the largest garden restoration project in Europe. In the
spring of 1991, the gardens lay beneath a blanket of bramble, ivy, rampant
laurel and fallen timber. Just one year later, the restoration team opened
the gardens to enable the public to share in the excitement of their
discovery. |

The Eden Project For
