Looe, Cornwall, at low tide
The seaside resort and fishing town of Looe is on the south-east coast of Cornwall. Originally there were two towns separated by the Looe River, with East Looe (pictured) being the larger of the two. The railway, which was originally built to help convey tin and copper ore from the mines on Bodmin Moor to the port of Looe, was converted to passenger use towards the end of the 19th century. This opened up the town to holidaymakers.
