LOOE ISLAND GUIDED WALKING TOURS - HISTORIC TALES, SMUGGLERS AND GHOSTS!
I am delighted to announce the dates and prices for the Looe Island Historic Tales, Smugglers and Ghost Guided Walking Tours
On behalf of Cornwall Wildlife Trust, I will be the guide for a truly unique experience.
Discover the rich history, smuggling past, ghostly tales, and hidden stories of Looe Island on this fully guided 3-hour tour. With a maximum group size of just 10 people, this is a unique and intimate way to explore the island and hear its intriguing legends brought to life. After the guided walk there should be time to independently re-visit the trail or simply find a place to sit, relax and enjoy the island nature reserve
Booking is simple and is coordinated through Cornwall Wildlife Trust on the following link:-

I am very excited to be involved. The trip starts on East Looe Quay floating pontoon, and we are taken by boat courtesy of Looe Sea Safari to Looe Island where we will be greeted by the wardens or volunteers for a quick welcome briefing, then we are off, hosted by me, and I will share stores of the island, describe the life of the wardens, tell tales of ghosts and smugglers and much, much more. There will be time at the end to revisit your favourite spot before returning to the Mainland.
I hope to welcome you along and look forward to the experience!
