Before setting off: check weather, tides, flood information, parking, toilets, public transport and the complete return journey. Keep working quays clear and never assume a filming location is open to visitors.
Day one — Looe case file
Use the one-day route, stay overnight and support local hospitality rather than rushing to several distant pins.
Day two — choose one region
Pick Port Eliot only when official visitor access is open, or build a Tamar Valley day around an authorised attraction, walk or booking.
Contingency
Keep a weather-safe alternative and avoid connecting rural stops on assumptions about taxis or mobile signal.
Check before you go
No stale certainty: transport, parking, access, opening and weather change. A useful guide tells you where to check—not just what was true once.
