Looe

Administrative Port: Plymouth
County: Cornwall
Population: 5000

Looe is a small coastal town and busy fishing port in south-east Cornwall, England. Looe is divided in two by the River Looe, with East Looe and West Looe being connected by a bridge. The town is situated around a small harbour and along the steep-sided valley of the River Looe which flows between East and West Looe to the seabeside a sandy beach. Off shore to the west, opposite the stonier Hannafore beach, lies the picturesque St George's Island, commonly known as Looe Island. While Looe remains a fishing town, its main business is from tourism with much of the town occupied by hotels, guest houses and holiday homes.[1]

Video:UK's oldest fisherman Bill Hocking from Looe, Cornwall (2010). "The oldest fishermen in the country celebrated 70 years of netting seafood despite never tasting his catch - because he doesn't eat FISH. Bill Hocking began fishing in May 1940 as 11-year-old boy and is still hauling lobster and crabs 70 years later"
