Visit Tencreek
All Year Round
We’re open all year here at Tencreek
so why not come and visit us out of
season as well!
Holidays in Cornwall don’t have to be taken in July and August. If you can get away in the spring, autumn
and winter months the beaches are empty, the roads quieter and it’s the perfect chance to explore even the
most popular tourist haunts at your leisure. Remember that it is both lighter and warmer in Cornwall too!
Figures from the meteorological office show that:
• Over the winter months, November to February inclusive, the Looe maximum mean temperature is approximately 50ºF and the minimum is 42.5ºF
• The average mean temperature in Looe all year round is 57.5ºF maximum and 47ºF minimum
• The average annual total for sunshine is almost 1,700 hours, that’s nearly 5 hours a day!
Looking at the average for the whole year, Looe is one of the warmest places in Britain. We enjoy more winter
daylight at the end of the day in Cornwall than anywhere else in Britain. The difference between Greenwich
time and sun time in Cornwall is more than 20 minutes. This means the sun sets 20 minutes later than its
appointed time on the calendar. Not only this, but because of the high reflecting capacity of the sea on 3 sides
of the peninsula, that 20 minutes is, in practice, extended to anything up to 1 hour as far as extra daylight is
concerned. Changing with the seasons, from rusty autumn days, through the colder clearer days of winter, to
the warmer spring days, Looe can enchant the visitor at whatever time of year. A short break or winter holiday
could be just the boost needed to get you through the cold and wet winter gloom. Tencreek Holiday Park offers
accommodation all year round at a price guaranteed to beat the winter blues. Two night breaks are available for full availability and prices, please check our website and at reception. Remember, whenever you decide to
stay at Tencreek, you can be sure that a warm welcome awaits.
Become a Tencreek Seasonal
Cornwall, and Looe change enormously during the seasons, from the quieter months
either side of the main holiday period, to the busiest times through the children’s holidays.
Seasonal touring pitches are for customers to use for the odd
weekend or for the whole summer.
Prices vary depending on your requirements but starts from
about £1500. As well as the normal ways to pay we can also offer
payment by standing order.
Medium and Large Seasonal Pitches come with electric hook ups
or Hardstanding Pitches come complete with water and drainage
hook ups (black and grey).
Most customers also prefer to leave their tourer on the pitch for
the winter. This period is much cheaper than the summertime
but usage is restricted to Friday pm to Sunday pm and also
the school holidays. This means you can enjoy Tencreek at
Christmas, New Year and February half term.
Should you have any queries please
contact our team on 01503 262447.

TOWNS & BEACHES
= DOG FRIENDLY BEACH

Surrounding Tencreek
Caravan Park are miles
of beaches, beautiful
countryside and towns
of interest to the
holidaymaker.
The closest town to
Tencreek is LOOE.
Looe is divided into 2
towns facing each other
across the river, joined by
Looe bridge built in 1855.
P hot o of Looe Harbour
East Looe is the busier
of the two towns, with narrow streets
from which traffic is prohibited during the summer months. Before
exploring it is best to park in the Millpool car park which can be
found a few hundred yards out of town on the Polperro road.
Along the quay a good hour or so can be spent watching fishing
boats unload, and sharks being weighed. Looe is the headquarters
of the Shark Angling Club of Great Britain. Anyone inspired enough
can try their hand at fishing with self-drive boats for hire, together
with skippered boats taking anglers out to catch mackerel,
conger and sharks.
In the town itself are numerous shops, restaurants, cafes and
pubs, which lead to the seafront, beach and pier. The walk from
Millpool car park (the furthest) to the beach will take about 15
minutes. Please note that dogs are not permitted on this beach.
On the other side of the river is West Looe, which can be reached
either by the bridge or via a passenger ferry which punts from side
to side depending on the state of the tide. More shops, cafes,
coach tours and taxis can be found on the quay which has a road
running alongside taking you to Hannafore.
Free parking is available at Hannafore, but only to those who arrive
early. The beach here is mainly shingle, and with high tide falling,
gives way to rocks with sandy patches. Perhaps more of a rock
pool beach than a sunbathing one, but nevertheless it has some
spectacular views of the channel.
Following the road that runs the length of Hannafore (to the end),
the cliff path starts, which takes you from Looe to Polperro. Many
people take this route either by bus or taxi back to the park.
Tencreek
West Looe
TALLAND BAY is the next beach of any significance along the
cliff path, although it can also be reached by road, following the
signposts near Tencreek. For those staying at Tencreek, a public
footpath passes through the touring field and leads to Talland Bay.
As with Hannafore, the sand is more in evidence at low tide
with the beach itself rocky
with sandy patches. Shore
fishing is popular here, with
regular catches of wrasse
and occasional bass. Bottom
fishing is not recommended.
Facilities at the beach include
toilets, cafe and car park.
Access to Talland Bay is
by narrow lanes, which can
prove annoying in the busier
P hot o of Po lperr o
months, but once there, the
beach is easily reached from
the car park.
POLPERRO, 4 miles from Looe, is more famous for its fishing
and smuggling than bathing, but is definitely worth a visit, if only
to savour the atmosphere created by generations gone by. Car
parking, as with Looe, is prohibited in the village itself and, with the
streets and lanes being so narrow, the car park at the top of the
village makes good sense.
After parking here you can wander through the shops to the
harbour where, in the last century a crew of customs officers
were stationed on a boat as a measure against smuggling. From
either side of the harbour, cliff paths take you back to Looe or
on to Lantic Bay. Before walking on, make sure you look back to
enjoy the bird’s eye view of Polperro, one of the most scenic and
photographed views in Cornwall.
The next beach marked on the map is LANSALLOS BEACH,
which is 15 minutes walk or so from the village of Lansallos. Here
there is a National Trust car park and it is suggested that you park
here. Generally quiet and peaceful, as are most beaches situated
further off the beaten track, Lansallos is sandy and very attractive,
but unfortunately there are no amenities here.
LANTIC BAY is situated
along the Polperro to
Polruan road, 2 or 3 miles
from Polperro. Look for
the signpost to Pencarrow
Head from which a 20
minute walk to the cliff top
gives a view used in years
past by smugglers.
Access down to the beach
is by 2 paths, both steep,
P hot o of Lantic Bay
and with the cliff top 400
feet above sea level, it
can be very sheltered even with a strong offshore breeze. Again
the beach, which is fairly remote, has no amenities, but remember,
with a 20 minute walk and no
shops or cafes, a beach like
this can provide the privacy and
peacefulness which makes for a
relaxing day out.
Set either side of the River
Fowey, POLRUAN and
FOWEY are connected by
the Bodinnick car ferry and
by a passenger ferry from
P hoto of Fowey
Polruan itself. Neither village
is particularly suitable for bathing, but again worth visiting.
Polruan has a car park at the top of the village and, with a steep,
narrow descent to the harbour with only a few parking spaces
available, it is advisable to use it. A few hours spent here can be
most rewarding before either driving to Fowey, or crossing the river
by passenger ferry.
The ancient town of Fowey, steeped in history, has a harbour now
filled with pleasure boats, although further up the river bigger boats
load up with china clay. Boat trips to Lerryn, Mevagissey, Looe and
Polperro can be taken from the town quay, along with self-drive
motor boats. Panoramic walks along the cliffs give views of rolling
countryside and, naturally, the sea. One suggested walk is to St.
Catherine’s Castle. All in all, a day spent in and around Fowey and
Polruan would be a day to remember.
Reached either by road or cliff path, east of Looe, is PLAIDY . All
types of boats and watersports can be hired here and the owners
of the beach also offer a launching service for private boats and
yachts. Toilets and food are also available. Unfortunately there is
no parking near the beach. From Plaidy take the cliff path to East
Looe which provides a pleasant walk with interesting views.
Taking the road back towards Plymouth as far as Hessenford, and
then following the signs to Seaton, you will find a fairly large beach
at SEATON . The beach consists of grey sand and pebbles with
easy access and safe bathing. In fact, cars are allowed to park on
the beach. Floats and deckchairs are available for hire, with a shop
nearby and cafe and toilets on the beach.
The road from Seaton runs in an easterly direction to
DOWNDERRY , with many access points to a beach of the same
type as above. The easiest access point to the sands is by the Inn
on the Shore, situated right on the beach.
PORTWRINKLE can be reached by taking the signposted lane
off the B3247. Here there is an old harbour with a beach of grey
sand and stones. No amenities here, and more suitable for fishing
than bathing.
WHITSAND BAY is a 4 mile stretch of sand which is very
attractive. However, it must be noted that it is a dangerous beach
with many fatalities. Voluntary lifeguards are present only at
weekends. Access is down over cliff paths with the beach falling
very steeply into the sea, proving dangerous for bathing, but ideal
for fishing. There are no facilities on the beach, although there are
some at the top of the cliffs.
The towns of KINGSAND and CAWSAND face east, and afford
splendid views of Plymouth Sound. Both have small sand and
shingle beaches and are ideal for bathing, fishing and boating.
Slipways are available with boats for hire at Cawsand. There is a
small car park for early birds with a much larger one at Cawsand
for others. A cafe and toilet are present on the beach with the usual
shops in the towns. Definitely worth a visit for the day.
Beach Safety
By following our safety tips below, you will be sure of having a relaxed and enjoyable holiday
On the Beach:
• DO read and obey warning notices
• DO bathe within any patrolled areas
• DO obey the lifeguard’s advice
• DON’T bathe when the RED FLAG is flying
In the Sea:
• Always swim in the company of others
• Don’t swim - if you feel unwell
- for at least an hour after meals
- for at least an hour after consuming alcohol
- when you are cold or tired
• Children can drown in shallow water - watch them continuously
• Inflatables are dangerous in the sea
If you get into difficulties:
• Remain calm and do not exhaust yourself
• Float on your back
• Attract attention by waving one arm and shouting for help
• Swim diagonally across, or float and go with the current
If someone else gets into difficulty:
• Contact a lifeguard (if available)
• Dial 999 and ask for the coastguard - then stay by the telephone
• Use rescue equipment, but enter the water only if you are a strong swimmer
Beware of the unexpected:
• The sea bottom is not flat - the waves may sweep the sand
from under your feet
• You can’t see the currents that carry you away
• The sea is usually cold, even on a warm day - remember,
cold can kill
• Do not snorkel in rough seas or if you have breathing problems
• Beware of being trapped by an incoming tide

HISTORY
A BRIEF LOOK AT LOOE
Archaeological evidence such as the so called “Giants Hedge”
an ancient earthwork running between the Looe and Fowey
estuaries indicated that the area around Looe (Logh in Cornish)
was inhabited as early as 1000BC. It is thought to have been
built in the 6th century by a local chieftain to defend his
territory against neighbouring clans. Patches of the “Giants
Hedge” still survive as an earth bank 2 metres high.
The Stone Circle at Bin Down (from the Cornish “Bin Dun”
meaning “Hill Fort”) also dates from this period.
Another chapel sat opposite on the mainland at Hannafore, just
outside of West Looe. Both chapels are now marked only by
ruins and have recently featured on Channel 4’s “Time Team”.
East and West Looe originated as separate towns, separated
by the estuary. They were first mentioned in 1201. An early
wooden bridge over the Looe River was in place by 1411.
This burnt down and was replaced by the first stone bridge
with 14 arches completed in 1436 and featuring a chapel
dedicated to St Anne in the middle. This bridge was
demolished and replaced in 1853 by the current bridge about
100 yards further upstream.
The Looe-Liskeard Union Canal was built in 1828 enabling the
efficient transport of copper, tin and granite from the moors
to the thriving port. The industrial success necessitated the
building of the large quay at East Looe in 1860. Due to the
demands of the shipping trade the canal was no longer able
to keep up with demand, and a railway line was built along the
towpath. The railway began carrying passengers in 1879.
Some time before 1144 a monastic order began using Looe
Island, and built a chapel there. The monks may have provided
a rudimentary lighthouse service using beacons.
In the 18th and 19th centuries smuggling, along with fishing
and boat building was a major industry in Cornwall. Looe
Island was an ideal staging post for landing and concealing
goods until it was safe to ferry them to the mainland.
The 20th century with the Victorian fashion for seaside holidays
saw Looe become a tourist town. This trend continued until we
have the successful tourist town of Looe as seen today.

INFORMATION
WALK INTO LOOE
Walking on the main road into Looe is very dangerous. A much safer route is to
turn right out of the park entrance, turn right again staying on the country lane,
and then take the immediate left by the small triangle of grass signposted to
the town centre. Keep on this lane downhill all the way to West Looe. The walk
will take about 25 minutes.
When you get to the river turn left to go over the bridge into East Looe and the
Beach or right to go up towards Hannafore (this becomes the coastal path to
Polperro). Also look out for the passenger ferry across the river.
P hoto of Looe
THE LOOE-POLPERRO COASTAL PATH
The path to the coast runs through the edge of the park. Turn left out of the reception cross the touring park until you
reach the line of tourers along the back hedge. Follow the hedge until you see the maintenance building. Two touring
caravans before this building you will see a gate in the hedge. Through the gate and across a couple of fields you will
meet the lane. Down hill from here you will arrive at Talland Bay and the coastal path.
The walk to here is approximately 20 minutes.
25
Once at Talland, Looe is to the East (allow 1½ hours ) and Polperro to the West (allow 2 hours). These are beautiful
walks along the Cornish coast with spectacular views.
TENCREEK TO LOOE VIA KILMINORTH WOODS
This is the slow way to Looe but very pleasant all the same. Leave the Park by the main entrance turning left. Walk
along the lane until you reach the main road. Cross the main road and continue up the lane and down, which will bring
you to Kilminorth Woods (a nature reserve). Here you have the choice of walking through the woods to Looe (main
car park) or continuing along the lane to Watergate. Watergate is situated on the river, so from here, you can walk
downstream to Looe. Depending on the route time would vary but allow 1 ½ hours.
BUS, TRAINS AND TAXIS
We do not include bus or train times, but information is available from reception. Buses run regularly from the end of
the lane from Tencreek by the main road. Tencreek to Polperro stand by the boat with flowers in. Tencreek to Looe
stand on the opposite side of the road. (Local enquiries - 0871 2002233).
The train station is in Looe, cross the bridge and turn left.
The train station is about a quarter of a mile away on the left (Local enquiries - 0871 2002233).
There are lots of taxi firms in the Looe and Polperro area, check taxi numbers on pages 23.

etc).

arrival and departure date. Book with confidence -- we will refund the difference
up to 7 days after the booking is made if you find the same at a better price!!
Dolphin Holidays decision is final. Dolphin Holidays reserves the right to withdraw
