The village of Duloe might be small, but that doesn’t mean it’s not special. Lying 5 miles from the bustling town of Looe, it is a great spot for a holiday with its own community shop and a medieval church. The village pub, The Plough Inn, provides a wide menu of locally sourced food and there is a new children’s play park to keep the kids entertained. Duloe is also home to Cornish Orchards Cider, producing an award-winning range of ciders and soft drinks.
The village is steeped in history, being home to both a holy well and an impressive prehistoric stone circle. Duloe Circle is made up of 8 bright white quartzite stones, the largest of which stands at 2.65m (8.7ft) tall and weighs in at a whopping 12 tons. The monument is believed to be Bronze Age but was known to be very popular with the Druids back in the 17th and 18th centuries.
Duloe is only a few miles from the beautiful South Cornish coast, so if you’re looking for a day out on the beach there are a number to choose from. At Looe, there’s a large sandy beach with the distinctive Banjo pier. Take a walk along the South West Coast Path for some spectacular coastal views, and stop off to refuel in the beach café at Talland Bay. Make time to visit the quaint, historic fishing village of Polperro and when you fancy a little retail therapy, why not explore the nearby harbour town of Fowey, with its plethora of shops, cafés and pubs.
A holiday cottage in Duloe offers an excellent base from which to explore this lovely corner of South Cornwall.
