We’ve discovered a little twist to our walk around Looe which involves ascending the  (very steep) hill in West Looe and getting the full scenic reward. Apart from anything else it is fascinating being able to see the variety of housing styles and see how people have approached making the best of steep sites. In the old days it was said that the divorced wives of sea captains lived in West Looe and their ex’s in East Looe…whatever, each side of the river has a distinct character.
