Historic Tales, Smugglers and Ghosts on Looe Island

🗓Tue 8 Sep 2026 · 3:00 PM
📍Looe Island Nature Reserve
£50

This afternoon tour takes you to Looe Island, half a mile off the coast, to uncover centuries of stories — from smugglers' coves to the lives of those cut off from the mainland. Led by expert guides from Cornwall Wildlife Trust, you'll explore the nature reserve's rocky shores and wind-bent trees while hearing tales of ghosts, folklore and heritage. The tour runs from 2pm to just after 5pm, with autumn light settling over the water and a sense of remoteness that stays with you. It's a rare chance to visit this boat-accessible reserve, so booking ahead is recommended.
