Introduction

Kilminorth Woods Local Nature Reserve is located just the historic fishing port of Looe in south-east Cornwall. It is a beautiful ancient woodland site, which runs adjacent to the estuary of the West Looe River. The reserve has many paths running through it, including a permissive bridleway available to cyclists and horse riders as well as walkers. There is also a relatively level, surfaced path leading to the water’s edge (offering excellent views up and down the estuary), which is suitable for accompanied wheelchair users.

The woods contain part of a linear Scheduled Ancient Monument called the Giant’s Hedge.

A leaflet about the site ‘Explore Kilminorth Woods’ is available from the South East Cornwall Discovery Centre located at the Looe end of the Millpool car-park (free entry).
