Talland
Bay is a small and quiet place midway between Looe and Polperro. There's
nothing here really, except the sea and some small beaches and rock pools,
and more skylarks than you can listen to with just one pair of ears. In
fine summer weather it's idyllic, in winter storms it's raw and muddy. There's
only the one road and that's a narrow single track lane and, of course,
there's the South West Coast Path for walking. And that's why we like it! Many people, like famous actress Dame Judy Dench, spent idyllic childhood summer holidays at Talland Bay, whilst others such as TV celebrities Richard & Judy discovered the Bay as a great getaway-from-it-all holiday venue. |

Talland
Bay is on the Heritage Coast and in the Cornwall Area of Outstanding
Natural Beauty - allegedly the most protected status in the UK (other
than National Parks). But do these designations actually mean anything
when it comes to the crunch? Already a major development - a "village"
of 42 up-market second homes - has been allowed to go ahead and there
are plans for more housing overlooking the bay. The Coalition Government
plans to relax planning controls which could open the floodgates and
turn Talland Bay into a south-east Cornwall version of Rock (near
Padstow).
