town with grid of streets. It is easy to get about this side of the town, but the hills can be a killer! The houses on the four parallel streets were timber fronted but had stonewalls for fire prevention. Later frontages were built on some of these old houses so it is not immediately noticeable how old East Looe really is. Why not take a little time out whilst enjoying a local pasty to view the architecture? It is really interesting to just sit and look whilst sitting on the square by the Tourist Information office.
Around 1500, the Guildhall is believed to have been built and one house is dated 1555 whilst another is dated around 1632. The ‘Golden Guinea restaurant’ is one of many ancient houses still in use today and whose gorgeous interiors, give more clues to its age than do the later exteriors that has been disguised ...

Advantages: A pretty part of Cornwall Disadvantages: Steep paths a bit hard on the legs
Looe is situated in south-east Cornwall and is built on the estuary of two rivers. East Looe and West Looe are joined across the estuary by a broad seven arched bridge.
The labyrinth of narrow streets rise steeply from the river up the sides of the valley so if your hotel is at the top be prepared to get some exercise, whether you want it or not!
Looe used to be a pilchard fishing community but the arrival of the railway in 1859 brought the first summer visitors and tourism has been strong in the town ever since. The quayside is still lined with fishing boats and you can go on a shark fishing expedition if you’re feeling brave. For anglers who prefer to keep their feet on dry land there is a circular area at the end of Banjo Pier, which is ideal for fishing.
There are the usual gift shops you would associate with any sea ...

Advantages: (+) expansive range Disadvantages: (-) too many to mention...poor service, increasing prices, made many mistakes w/ my account
Little bit of history: I first opened an account with Barclays Bank when I was 11 years old after being recommended by a school friend and her Mother. I had the normal savings account - a bank card to use at the ATM and bank branch itself, with a daily £50 limit.
Between the ages of 11 and 15 I had no problems with the bank, until of course when I was 16; a week before my 16th Birthday my account was updated/upgraded. I now had a chip+pin card but my account was essentially the same as before. However, one difference was that I now had £100 daily limit instead of the former £50. This was agreed in my contract which I\'d received in the post around my 16th b.day. This is when the problems started. Thinking I had £100 to spend each day, I went shopping with friends and had planned to buy some Nike trainers costing £85. These were my ...
