East and West Looe Valleys Trail West Looe Valley Trail Concept Photo by Devon & Cornwall Rail Partnership We hope shortly to be able to extend this feasibility study to investigate route options between Liskeard, Looe and Lanhydrock. Cornwall Council and Looe Town Council have already committed funding to this, and we are seeking additional contributions to get the study underway. This route would be suitable for the more experienced cyclist, providing wider connections between the East Looe Valley Trail, new Coast to Coast opportunities and the cycling facilities at Lanhydrock, Cardinham and the Camel Trail at Bodmin.
