Guest blog: Local walking tours and Cornish tours

We asked Mark Barber (below), who is launching Looe Walking Tours in April, to do a guest blog for us on his two new ventures. 

His fascinating and picturesque walking tours could be a great way to spend a day for guests staying at Treworgey.  Mention when booking a tour that you're staying at Treworgey, and you'll get a special 10% discount on the tour!

Launching in April 2025, Looe Walking Tours offer three uniquely different guided walks of the historical fishing port of Looe.

Guided by Mark, with over 30 years of experience in tourism and hospitality, you will learn about Looe’s fascinating & historic past, hear tales of the characters from the Town and stories of the smugglers and fishermen who called Looe their home.

There are 3 tours to choose from:

 Pennyland to the Pier – a walk through 4 centuries of Looe’s history where you will learn more about the development of the port, its trading and fishing.
 Taste of The Town – a culinary tour of Looe with food and drink along the way!
 Smugglers & Skulduggery – tales of smuggler’s haunts, press gangs and skulduggery along the quayside. Exploring some of Looe’s darker past.

Each walk covers approximately a 1-mile walk between West and East Looe and lasting around 90 mins to 2 hours.

Each of the walks takes place on pavements & even ground, with just one small slope along the way. There are plenty of spots to take a seat and rest a while.
