Following a brief Plymouth city overview tour, head for the ‘New’ Tamar Road bridge and cross into Cornwall. Running Parallel is Royal Albert Bridge, built to a unique design by the Victorian engineer-genius Isambard Kingdom Brunel in 1859. The 19 arch structure is 2240 ft long and is still used by all trains heading across the river.
Travel next through the green Cornish countryside to the lovely Cornish coast, dotted with small ancient harbors, before arriving at historic Looe.
Looe is a small fishing town in Southeast Cornwall that welcomes thousands of tourists every summer to its warm beaches, local seafood restaurants and beautiful coastal walks. Divided by the River Looe, East and West Looe offer their own quirks adding to the charm of the coastal town. Historically, Looe is known for its fishing and boat building after both World Wars and is therefore known for its fantastic seafood.
Enjoy free time here to explore the town and picturesque harbor. You may choose to visit its interesting shops and traditional pubs or find local food at your own expense. The town of Looe also boasts a few other charms you may choose to explore such as a monkey sanctuary, founded in 1964, that rescues and looks after a wide range of monkeys. There is also the Old Guildhall Museum, where many of its original prison cells and raised magistrate benches still remain undamaged. Another site to visit is Talland Church, a building of exceptional interest as it is perched on a cliff top at Talland. Parts of the church were built as far back as the 13th Century and most of it was built in the 15th century.
Later, return to the ship in Plymouth.
