River Looe

River Looe

The River Looe is a river in south-east Cornwall, which flows into the English Channel at Looe. It has two main branches, the East Looe River and the West Looe River. The eastern tributary has its source near St Cleer and flows south, passing close to the western outskirts of Liskeard. South of Liskeard, the Looe Valley Line follows the course of the river to Looe. The western tributary has its source near Dobwalls.

The rivers' lowest stretches form the Looe Estuary.
