Paint a Pot

Reviewed By Meander719420

We stumbled upon this lovely little place whilst exploring Looe on holiday - the owner of the shop was very welcoming and clearly explained the process of creating our goodies. I spent about an hour and a half painting a coffee mug (my partner didn't fancy his talents with a brush) which was very enjoyable and surprisingly therapeutic. Once I was finished the shop owner took my details to have the mug posted home as we would be leaving before it was ready to collect after glazing and firing. The cost of postage (and the whole process really) was very reasonable. I would definitely recommend spending some time here, and will come back to paint again if I'm ever in the area!

Talland Church

COVID -19 UPDATE Talland Church will be open on Sundays only for private prayer between 10.00 and 17.00. Set beside the South West Coast footpath, between Looe & Polperro, Talland Church is a place of peace & tranquility. TALLAND CHURCH as we see it today was not built to serve a large community but to maintain a holy site where the Christian faith had been established some 1500 years ago. The three Lancet Windows in the West Wall date the present church to the 13th century and much of the old woodwork & carved pews remained unspoiled by religious changes. For more about our Church at Talland, its history & characters and help with ancestral research please visit our website. We cannot guarantee winter opening of the Church building but if you are making a special trip to Talland Church please email in advance to ensure the building is open. The Churchyard and grounds are open all year. Thank you, enjoy your visit.

I have loved this ancient spirit filled church for over 60 years. The tower is separated from the body of the church by an arch way which covers the entrance to the church and the separate entrance to the Bell tower. The church is believed to have been built on an ancient ley line with the alter being over the junction of two ley lines. The view over Talland bay from the cliff top above the church is beautiful and soothing even in the rain! The bay below has rocks that are naturally tinted with pink and green.

Old Guildhall Museum & Gaol

The Museum is now closed till March 29th 2021, when we will open with a timed slot system - see our website. Come and see our new AR Island model and Immersive Smuggling display which will entertain all the family. The 15th Century listed Ancient Museum has a fascinating display of Looe’s history, including Looe Governance, boat building and smuggling. The building itself is a marvellous exhibit as it retains many of its 550 years old original features with ancient cells (with prisoners) and the very old, raised magistrates bench complete with the Royal Coat of Arms. As you walk into the upper floor, you are entering the room which, from 1587 to 1878, was the East Looe Town Hall & Magistrates Court. Beneath the magnificent timber-framed roof, laws were made and enforced and the town was administered by the Mayor and Corporation, known as Burgesses. The weights and measures used to enforce fair trading are displayed in this area, as are a growing number of local wills and deeds.

Pengelly's fishmongers

Reviewed By rosea376 - Telford, United Kingdom

Visited today from the takeaway side, was a bit of a wait maybe the vinegar pepper etc could but put on a separate stand because serving groups and then them all deciding if they want vinegar and faffing around with it between them all I was waiting over 15 minutes. I feel this would reduce queues and keep the number of people down. Food was nice, pleasant staff who made sure you were greeted and said good bye to. I had cockles, prawns, crab, prawns, crayfish claws as a mix and it was lovely I really enjoyed it. This isn’t a bad reviews as I didn’t have a bad experience just a suggestion that the pepper and vinegar on the same hatch as the serving window slowed things right up. All the best
