Looe Walking Tours - Historic Tales
Overview
Hi, I am Mark, your experienced guide and I offer a fun and informative tour, with stories of not just history, but the people who lived in the town and the characters that make the town what it is today.
You will start off by meeting ‘Nelson’ our ‘Grand Old Man of the Sea’ and from there we will wind our way through the beautiful harbour town, the hidden backstreets, the quay side and the wonderful bridge ending up at our magnificent beachfront and ‘Banjo Pier’
Along the way learn about the history of the town, its building and its people. See the hidden streets and buildings that you wouldn’t normally see, and hear stories fo the characters that have worked here .
The tour is fun, light and informative, and you are free to ask me questions to make the most of your experience.
I will recommend local places to eat and drink, and know the area well.
I hope you will come along and I look forward to welcome you, Mark
