Top 10 Kid Friendly Things To Do and Attractions in Looe

"Nestled in a wooded valley, Gidleigh Park boasts 107 acres of mature grounds, within the wilds of Dartmoor. With an award winning restaurant, this estate is just 6 minutes’ drive from Chagford. This quintessential country house hotel has free WiFi throughout and offers individually styled accommodation with views over the grounds."

"At first glance, Dartmoor can come as something of a shock to the senses. The largest stretch of open moorland in the southwest, Dartmoor covers an area of 368 sq miles between Plymouth and Exeter."

"Plymouth hoe is the heart of the city, standing tall and proud amongst the backdrop of one of the world’s greatest natural harbours once used by the legendary Sir Francis Drake. Seeing the hoe is a must-do activity in itself, but a sensory garden, memorials, and a long stretch of promenade mean there’s always something to do in the area. Its proximity to the sea means a swim on the pebble beach is only a walk away."

"It wouldn't be a picture-perfect list of Plymouth if we didn't include the Hoe. Arguably one of the most iconic sights in the city, it's home to Smeaton's Tower, a long promenade, green space and a statue of Sir Francis Drake. There are a number of events that take place through the year too, so plenty of excuses to get snapping."

"Francis Drake supposedly spied the Spanish fleet from this grassy headland overlooking Plymouth Sound (the city's wide bay); the bowling green on which he continued to finish his game after the sighting was..."

"The National Marine Aquarium is a landmark building in Plymouth, situated in the historic and picturesque Sutton Harbour area. It is a complex, modern building consisting of huge swathes of curved glass and wood panelling on its exterior with a curved white roof, reminiscent of a wave. The design was commissioned in 1995 and was built over 3 phases, the first phase opened in 1998 and in 2018 it celebrated its 20th birthday."

"This recently overhauled waterfront aquarium provides an excellent introduction to the cold offshore world in the South Atlantic Ocean. Most impressive is the tunnel through the largest aquarium, which allows close-up views of graceful rays, toothy sharks (you can literally count the teeth!) and other little marine beasties."

"The National Marine Aquarium is a marine aquarium located in the city of Plymouth, England, in Sutton Harbour, next to the Barbican and fishmarket. It was opened in May 1998, with charitable aims of research, education and conservation. It is the largest aquarium in the United Kingdom."

"Around 1.25 miles west of St Cleer, these crashing waterfalls are one of the most renowned beauty spots on the moor. Around the falls are the remains of the ancient oak woodland that once covered much of the moor. There is a car park half a mile's walk from the reserve, near Draynes Bridge."

"Founded as a Cistercian monastery and abbey-church in the 13th century, Buckland Abbey was one of Henry VIII’s ‘acquisitions’ during the Dissolution of the Monasteries. Sir Richard Grenville bought it from the..."

"Owned by those responsible for popular Plymouth nightclub Factory, it aims to be an 'arts and music community hub'. During the week, one room is used for events like live music, comedy and film screenings. The weekends usually see local acts and DJs performing."

"Buckfastleigh grew up at the confluence of a pair of streams running down off Dartmoor to join the River Dart. Throughout its history, the town has been a centre for woollen production, with several mills working to produce woollen goods. The nearby rivers also supported tanning, and powered paper and corn mills."

"These two parallel stone rows are up to 260m long, with large stone slabs, or 'terminal stones' at the eastern end. In the centre, hunt out the circular remains of a tiny stone burial chamber. Some 100m south of..."

"This year, Steel Brew became the first business to open in the Royal William Yard’s Grade II listed Melville building – and its inaugural brew was a free “thank you” gift for key workers. Its young team all live in the same house and back in April were the only ones working in the brewery and taking precautions not to come into contact with anyone else. Steel Brew Co was already a familiar name to regulars at Royal William Yard, having appeared as a pop-up at the popular Yard Sessions music events last summer and at the Good Food and Craft Markets."
