Editing Looe (section)

===West Looe===

West Looe spreads west from the bridge on the Polperro Road towards [[Sclerder]], and along the river south of the bridge, with hotels, restaurants and boarding houses along the waterfront and houses climbing the perilous cliff above, towards a cluster of shops and businesses and the Church of St. Nicholas.

West Looe rises onto the Downs, a public recreation ground, well known for local dog walkers. Beyond this is West Looe cemetery, as well as Porthbythan Road, Goonwartha Road and Tregarrick.

Further south along the coast road is Hannafore Point, marking the edge of Looe Harbour, with to the west the wide, stony Hannafore Beach, facing across a narrow channel to Looe Island. Beyond lies the [[South West Coast Path|coastal path]] leading to [[Portnadler Bay]], Talland and [[Porthallow (Talland)|Porthallow]], and then onward to Polperro. Two towers mark one end of a [[nautical measured mile]], the other end is marked by two towers near Talland Bay.<ref>{{cite web|title=Nautical Measured Mile Markers|publisher=Polperro village website|url=http://www.polperro.org/measuredmile.html|author=Tony White|date=March 2003|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110727181944/http://www.polperro.org/measuredmile.html|archive-date=27 July 2011}}</ref>
