3 days in Looe: an accessible itinerary

Three days based around Looe, shaped so the walking stays short and the access is stated up front. Every attraction on this itinerary — Blue Reef Aquarium, Newquay Zoo, Cotehele Quay Discovery Centre, Tavistock Museum, The Box and Plym Valley Railway — lists disabled access, and Day 1 keeps things especially gentle: just 0.6 miles from the aquarium to Lakeside Cafe (food hygiene rating 5/5), then 0.5 miles on to the zoo.

For beds, Leonardo Hotel Plymouth states disabled access with parking and EV charging nearby, and sits 0.6 miles from Plymouth station and 0.6 miles from Plymouth Hoe East beach, rated Excellent for bathing water by the Environment Agency. Travelodge Roborough also states disabled access and is pet friendly; Dolbeare Park offers accessible camping 2.6 miles from St Germans station. Arriving by rail, the nearest station to Looe is Looe itself. Do ring ahead about parking bays, accessible toilets and lifts before you book.

Day 1

The easiest day by far: Blue Reef Aquarium in the morning, then 0.6 miles to Lakeside Cafe for lunch (food hygiene rating 5/5), then only 0.5 miles more to Newquay Zoo — 1.1 miles of travel all day. All three sites state disabled access, but check accessible parking bays, toilets and any lift or ramp arrangements with each one directly before you set off.

Day 2

A longer driving day, so plan a comfort stop: Cotehele Quay Discovery Centre is 37.6 miles from the previous stop, with Tavistock Museum a short 5.4 miles on for the afternoon. Both state disabled access; confirm blue badge parking, step-free routes and toilet facilities when you book, as quayside and historic-town settings can vary.

Day 3

City first, countryside after: The Box is 12.2 miles from your last stop, then just 2.8 miles to Plym Valley Railway for the afternoon. Both state disabled access — worth phoning the railway in advance about boarding assistance and accessible carriages, and checking lift access and accessible toilets at The Box.
