Looe, a picturesque fishing town on England's Cornish coast, offers more than its charming harbour and pastel-hued buildings. Just a short distance inland from the bustling town center lies Millpool, home to Lucy Daniel Guide’s signature 1.5-hour walking experience. This isn’t your typical coastal trek; it’s a focused journey through the very streets and riverside paths that served as filming locations for the BBC series "Beyond Paradise." Here, the gentle Looe River cuts through the landscape, flanked by verdant banks and historic architecture, lending an intimate atmosphere to the stroll.
The route Mary Lucy Daniel leads is accessible terrain, flat and easy, making it a great fit for casual walkers and families who want to absorb the local character without sweating uphill. Along the way, you’ll encounter key filming spots that bring the fictional world of "Beyond Paradise" to life, enhanced by Lucy’s engaging narrative about the tales behind each location as well as local history and culture. The lush riverside setting is dotted with iconic Cornish elements—granite edging, quaint bridges, and native trees—and may reveal glimpses of waterfowl and the occasional heron.
Millpool’s close proximity to central Looe also means visitors can tie the walk directly into their day plans with ease. After the tour, many choose to rest at a nearby café, sampling local fare while soaking in riverside views.
