Sightseeing
Here are some ideas of local places to visit that should appeal to all ages
From the cottage take the coastal path and walk the scenic route (1.5 miles) or if you are not feeling energetic take a short drive in the car. There is a pay and display car park at the top of the village - for a small fee you can ride the electric tram to the centre. Here you will find many quaint shops, cafes, pubs, art galleries and restaurants. There is also a museum and a model village to visit.

You can get the ferry across from Bodinnick or Polruan either with your car or as a foot passenger. There is a lovely walk if you drive to Lantic Bay car park (free for NT members) and turn right out of car park heading toward the church. Fowey is well worth a visit as you can wonder around the town browsing in the numerous shops. If you're hungry and weather is nice grab a pasty and head for the seats by the harbour wall.

One of my favourite historic houses. You get to view a lot of the rooms including all the kitchen areas. The grounds and park are very pretty too

There is the Boatzer glass bottom boat trip in Looe Harbour that is meant to be good to see sea life. You can also book 'Big fish' fishing trips in Looe Harbour. At Polperro Harbour you can do scenic boat trips including Talland Bay.

Well worth a visit. They have an elevated garden area (steep steps up) so on nice days you can eat, drink whilst overlooking the pretty fishing village of Polperro. Highly recommend the fish pie!

If you're in Looe and want somewhere to eat a Cornish pasty or enjoy a cream tea then head to Daisys. It's v small so you can't always get a table. Very friendly owners. Excellent home cooked food and cakes.

Wonderful beach but a hike and climb to reach. Worth it if you can. Check tides and go when it is going out not at high tide. National Trust (free to members) carpark a good 15 minutes walk away. Continue and walk the coastal path to Polruan and catch ferry over to Fowey

A big expanse of beach with carparking and cafes nearby. It turns into a nudist beach if you walk too far up the beach!

여행 팁
준비물
Download a tide app so you can plan your visit to the beach at low tide.
High tide can leave very little beach so best to visit when the tide is going out so you don't get cut off. Don't forget to pack waterproof beach shoes - the café sells them if you forget. I recommend packing slippers to wear around Studio Cottage. Wellie boots are useful, especially outside of the summer months are they are great to wear when splashing about in rock pools. If you are planning on walking, don't forget to pack a waterproof jacket, sensible study footwear, a rack-sack, drinks & snacks, a sunhat, sun-cream and some money.
