    Detailed description

    Looe Harbour Heritage Centre is situated in West Looe's Old Sardine Factory on the Quay. You may immerse yourself in the history of the port, river, and bridges of maritime Looe during your visit to the Heritage Centre. And anything about sardines!

    There is a video from Splatt the Seagull, talking about how important sardines were to the local economy, which makes it really accessible for children, as well as time-lapse footage of the harbour.

    And most crucially, everything about the things that make up the core of The community—fishing, boats, flood defences—as well as the diverse individuals who have lived here and worked there—and of course those who still do.

    The Heritage Centre is usually closed between the October half term and the start of the Easter holidays, so check with the website for opening times, and ticket prices.
