The Looe River at high tide

Th East Looe and West Looe rivers, which both flow through heavily wooded steep-sided valleys, meet here, just to the north of the bridge at Looe in the south-east of Cornwall. At high tide the Looe River, as it then becomes, provides a very attractive wide lake. But it's very shallow, and at low tide only narrow streams remain, whilst much of the river becomes mud banks. On the bank can be seen the outskirts of East Looe, which together with its twin town of West Looe becomes jointly known as Looe.
