Kilminorth Wood Looe
This nature reserve has been regularly wooded for over 400 years, and is one of the few areas of ancient woodland left in Britain. The reserve follows the course of the West Looe river, starting at the millpool in West Looe.
The wildlife in Kilminorth Woods is both diverse and plentiful with an abundant plant life and wild fauna. Roe deer are frequently seen amongst the trees and birds such as the kingfisher and heron are also common highlights on the wooded trails. The ancient monument, nicknamed the ‘Giants Hedge', runs through the woods from Looe to the town of Lerryn.
This scenic walk is easily reached from Looe. To find self-catering accommodation in Polperro or Looe, go to the Looe & Polperro Holidays website.
