Historic Tales, Smugglers and Ghosts on Looe Island

🗓Tue 11 Aug 2026 · 4:00 PM
📍Looe Island Nature Reserve
£50

This afternoon tour takes you to Looe Island, half a mile off the Cornish coast, where centuries of stories are woven into the landscape. Led by expert guides from Cornwall Wildlife Trust, you'll hear about smugglers evading revenue men, ghostly encounters, and the lives of those who lived cut off from the mainland. Starting at 4pm and running until just after 5pm, the experience offers a chance to explore the island's coves and wind-bent trees as autumn light settles over the water. It's a rare opportunity to visit this boat-accessible nature reserve, so booking ahead is recommended.
