Shopping in Looe, Cornwall
Looe is a small fishing town and as such doesn't suffer from having 'the same old high street shops' that you tend to see in other towns.
Instead, Looe boasts a large number of independent traders selling everything from designer sunglasses to telescopes, ropes to water-colours and crab lines to iPod accessories!
The narrow lanes and streets help to keep Looe this way and provide shoppers with an intimate and friendly atmosphere in which to peruse and explore the town.
So if you're coming to Looe for a holiday or day-out, be prepared to have a 'mooch' around the shops. Below is a short list of what you'll find.
