Terras Bridge
Terras Bridge
A good mixture of obstacles on this minor lane - in this direction of view, first this little arched bridge crosses the East Looe river, next there is an ungated level crossing with the Liskeard and Looe Railway and finally a tidal ford - and all within a couple of hundred yards.
River Looe

The River Looe is a river in south-east Cornwall, which flows into the English Channel at Looe. It has two main branches, the East Looe River and the West Looe River. The eastern branch has its source near St Cleer only 0.31 miles away from the Golitha Falls on the River Fowey, and flows south, passing close to the western outskirts of Liskeard. The western branch has its source near Dobwalls.
South of Liskeard, the Looe Valley Line railway follows the course of the East Looe River to Looe. The railway is so close to the river that flooding is a common occurrence.
The lowest stretch of the rivers combine to form the tidal harbour and estuary of Looe. The combined length of the two rivers (including the tidal confluence) is 30 miles

Looe Valley Line

The Looe Valley Line is an 9 mile long community railway from Liskeard to Looe, that follows the valley of the East Looe River for much of its course. It is operated by Great Western Railway. The line opened in stages between 1861 and 1901.
