This print from the Royal Cornwall Museum takes us back to the enchanting fishing village of Looe in the 1890s. The image showcases a breathtaking view over Trenant Wood, revealing a picturesque scene that stretches beyond Looe Bridge and into the distance. As our eyes wander through this Victorian-era landscape, we are drawn to the tranquil Looe River flowing gently towards its estuary. The photographer, Surgeon Captain John Campbell, skillfully captures the essence of this coastal gem. His lens perfectly frames the tide mill pond nestled by Looe Bridge, while boats gracefully rest alongside the quay nearby. The charm of this Cornish village is undeniable as we witness its harmonious blend of natural beauty and maritime activity. One cannot help but be captivated by Trenant Wood's lush greenery that surrounds this idyllic setting. It serves as a reminder of Cornwall's rich parkland heritage and adds an element of serenity to an already mesmerizing vista.
