Loe Bar is the name of the sand bank separating the lake from the sea. The lake, known as the Loe, is the largest freshwater lake in Cornwall. It was once the mouth of the River Cober.

Some say the Loe Bar was formed when two local giants had an argument and one of them dropped a bag of sand here as he was being attacked by the other who was throwing rocks at him, one of the rocks being St Michael's Mount. No wonder he was keen to get away!

Penrose Estate

Highlight • Forest

On Saturday mornings, Penrose becomes the venue of West Cornwall's Parkrun with around 200 runners each week completing the 5km course. The running route follows the old Victorian carriageway through woodland and parkland with views of Loe Pool and beyond. At that time it is very busy.
