More on Looe
The area around Looe has been inhabited as early as 1000 BC. Among the archaeological remains include the stone circle at Bin Down and the so-called Giant's Hedge. East Looe is the older of the two parts of Looe, having received its town charter some time between 1154 and 1189.The first stone bridge across the Looe River was built in 1436, replacing a wooden one that burned down some time earlier. Due to its coastal location, Looe developed into a busy port with thriving fishing and boatbuilding industries. The town was in decline by the beginning of the 19th century, but received a much-needed boost with the construction of a canal connecting it with Liskeard in 1828.
Since the mid 19th century, Looe has developed into a tourist down. Although it is still a fishing town, tourism has become the main business.
