Cornish seaside favourite Looe is a sandy haven of picturesque fishing boats and delicious seafood – don’t leave without trying a fresh crab sandwich. After lunch, hike up to the Wild Futures Monkey Sanctuary and meet primate friends like Joey, who have been rescued from poor or unsuitable conditions. The views are well worth the walk and you may just find some farmer’s honey or fruit for sale along the way. Treat yourself to a room at the Commonwood Manor for spectacular scenic views over breakfast.
