The Chard family take us on a tour in and around Looe taking in the harbour and coastline. The Eddystone Lighthouse is the fourth to be built on the Eddystone Rocks and was designed by James Douglass. The town amalgamated East and West under Looe Urban District Council in 1898 but had been joined by a bridge since 1411. The current stone bridge of seven arches opened in 1853. Caught on camera also are the Cornish luggers, the mainstay of the local fishing industry.
