About the Area

Granite Henge is ideally situated between Looe and Polperro.

Looe offers a safe bathing beach for children and has many activities on offer in the summer, as well as numerous boat and fishing trips. There is a putting green on West Looe, which is good fun for all the family and has the added bonus of lovely views over Looe Island.

There are lots of eating places, pubs, restaurants etc. and it is an ideal place to visit all year round. In fact, Looe has been voted the 3rd best place in the country to enjoy the New Year festivities, where it is almost obligatory to arrive in fancy dress. Hence Christmas and New Year are very popular!!

Polperro is very quaint and picturesque, with its tiny streets and shops and some olde worlde pubs with some good old fashioned pub grub. If you enjoy walking, then the South Cornwall Coastal Path can be picked up at Talland Bay, which is 1.25 miles away and from here you can walk in the direction of either Looe or Polperro. If you run out of steam you can get the bus back.

There is a bus stop just near the entrance of Granite Henge to both Looe and Polperro and also Plymouth.

The mainline train station is at Liskeard with a picturesque Looe valley branch line connection. Taxis are readily available from both Looe and Liskeard.

Bodmin Moor is within easy reach as is the North Coast such as Newquay, in fact nowhere is really too far if you have a car.

Other attractions include: Plymouth with a cinema and tenpin bowling and of course shops and the Historic Hoe; Flambards, a family theme park; Creally Adventure Park; the Eden Project and numerous other attractions.
