Here are just a few of the attractions that Cornwall has to offer - there are many many more....

The Eden Project is probably Cornwall's most famous attraction. Located in a disused clay mine near St Austell.

This boimes hosue plants from allaround the world and each boime has its own climate, from tropical to arid.

Eden has also become a venue for concerts.

Also near to St Austell at Mevagissy are The Lost Gardens of Heligan, which is the largest garden restoration in Britain, which includes a massive 57 acres of planted garden, 27 acres of jungle valley garden, combined with a wonderful collection of walled gardens, grotto, Italian garden etc.

There are many National Trust properties in Cornwall.

Anthony House near Torpoint was recently used as a set in the Hollywood film Alice in Wonderland. Llanhydrock House, near Bodmin has beautiful gardens. Cothele, near Saltash. Mount Edgcumbe is also near Toproint.

If shopping is your therapy, then Plymouth and Truro are the main towns. Plymouth is 40 minutes by car, but you can also go there by train or bus. Truro is a pretty city, best way to get there is either by car or train, it's about an hourdrive from Looe.

Trago Mills is a Cornish phenominum. We call it our Harrods. Here you can buy anything and at bargain prices. The nearest Trago is on the A38 between Liskeard and Bodmin. If you are pasing it's worth dropping in.

Walking?

We keep a booklet in the hotel listing walks around the Looe area, The coastal path is the most popular. This runs the entire coast of Cornwall, nearly 300 miles. A day trip walking either way to Polperro or Seaton is a must.

One place well worth walking to on a nice day is The Cheese Ring at Minions. A short drive to the village then a short walk up to the stones. This is one of the highest points in Cornwall.

Just a few miles from here, heading back towards Liskeard are Golitha falls. They are not quite Niagara, but a very pleasant stop off for some peace and quiet.

Also near to Liskeard are Carnglaze Caverns which has an underground rum store. The caversn are also popular as a music event, due to their amazing accoustic properties

Just outside Looe at St Keyne is a museum with a difference Paul Corin's Magnificent Music Machines houses a collection of organs and a fulling working Wurlitzer. Paul provides personal guided tours and is very keen to tell you the history of his machines.
