Looe is an ideal starting place for walking along the coastal path. Heading west, Polperro is about 5  miles. The walk is moderate, but there are some hills. Half way is Talland Bay, which has a couple of cafes. Our local “celebs” Richard and Judy live in Talland Bay. If you walk to the east the path will take you to Plaidy, then on to Seaton. Half way you will pass The Monkey Sanctuary, just inland from the coast path. At Seaton there is a beach, with cafes a pub and a restaurant. If you are still feeling strong a few miles further on is Downderry, where The Inn on The Shore serves great food and they have a terrace which overlooks the sea.
