Some good info on SW coastal path walks between Looe and Polperro.
Have you walked from Polperro to Looe or vice-versa?
We know we are biased, but ‘our‘ section of the SW Coast Path has to be one of the most stunning of the whole 630 miles coastal walk.
Whether you set off from Looe or Polperro, the walk is a little over 5 miles and takes around 3-4 hours (that will depend on how many times you stop to admire the vistas or how long you take to eat a cream eat on route!).
Plan your day out and ask yourself these questions
1. Do I want to walk there & back? If so, set off in time to enjoy lunch in either Looe or Polperro before walking back;
2. Do I want to walk in one direction? Don’t worry, you can still stop for lunch, or an early dinner; however, you can take the No 72/72A or No 481 bus service in one direction or, when the weather & tides permit, the boat too;
3. If you have young ones with you, why not walk from Polperro or Looe to Talland? It’s a beautiful bay and you can enjoy a snack at Talland Bay Beach Cafe(Talland is 1/3 of the way from Polperro to Looe, 2/3 in the other direction
