Looe |
Looe is a much liked seaside
holiday shopping attraction that many local people and
holiday makers enjoy all year round. It is only a 5 minute
drive from Polborder Farm and can get quite busy in the
summer but with it's beach, pier, shops and amusement
arcades it gives anyone plenty to do in the sun. Liskeard
is another popular shopping centre that is only a 10-15
minute drive away but it is geared much more towards the
shopping side of things rather than holiday making. If you
need to do a serious shopping trip, this is the place to go.
It has a few major retail chains such as Woolworths, MacKays,
Safeway and Somerfield, but it also has a variety of smaller
shops that should satisfy your every need. |
