You can find this cache after solving a few clues around both East and West Looe. It shouldn't take much longer than an hour (and possibly a lot quicker). Though Looe itself is not a huge place, this trail will lead you to some interesting and varied spots. It is all fairly level and well paved except for the final cache location which involves a slight climb.
The above co-ordinates are the STARTING POINT, not the cache location.
Optional car parking at 50 21.470 W004 27.568 (Millpool Car Park), quite a long way from starting point, but parking close to it is almost impossible!
