In prehistoric times when the sea was higher, this was a beach. Look north east from here and you can see the manacles, a hidden granite reef which has been the cause of hundreds of shipwrecks.

This is a nice combination. From Loe Baar you have a view of the sea on one side and a view of a freshwater lake on the other. This allows you to walk completely around the lake.

Loe Bar was originally the mouth of the River Cober which led to a harbor at Helston. However, by the 13th century the bar had cut Helston off from the sea and formed the lake. Loe Bar consists largely of chert deposits, although it is not certain where this comes from as the nearest source is more than 200 kilometers away. There is also a reasonable amount of sand.

An area to the east of Loe Pool has been cleared for the reintroduction of Riempjes, a plant belonging to the carnation family (Corrigiola litoralis), which was identified by Natural England in 2020 as being at high risk of extinction. The plant was first sighted on the beach near the tin mine at Helston in 1800. By 1908 it was becoming rarer and was last recorded here in 1915. Its loss was believed to have been caused by a lack of fluctuating water levels following work on the outflow from the lake. By the 20th century beltwort in the UK grew only in Slapton Ley in south Devon. Seed was raised at Paignton Zoo, Devon by the Whitley Wildlife Conservation Trust (WWCT), and in May 2015 over 1,000 seedlings were planted at the eastern end of Loe Pool. (Wikipedia)

The Loe, also called Loe Pool, is a freshwater lake cared for by the National Trust. Loe actually means 'pool' in Cornish, so Loe Pool is really like saying pool pool! Recently a lot of hard work has gone into improving the declining water quality of the Loe, caused by nearby sewerage treatment works and agricultural run-off. Legend has it that this is where King Arthur threw his sword Excalibur, but it has never been found...

The monument includes a complex multi-period archaeological landscape of settlements, field systems and various manufacturing sites, situated on a wide band of sloping coastal cliffs between Lowland Point and Coverack. The archaeological remains survive as extensive standing rectilinear fields and enclosures; stone hut circles and other settlement sites; and their associated buried deposits and features which range in date from the Mesolithic to the early medieval periods. There have been numerous partial excavations, mainly from the first half of the 20th century, which have provided considerable information about the site. Chronologically, the earliest evidence for use of the area is a Mesolithic flint working site on a platform on the southwestern side of Carrick Crane Rocks. Excavated in 1933, it produced around 650 worked flints and some Iron Age pottery. Several chance finds of Neolithic pottery have been made, hinting at the occupation of the area during this period. Several of the hut circles, at least one of which had an annexe, have also been excavated with recorded finds from these including pottery (Bronze Age to Iron Age), stone rubbers and an iron blade. The settlements were associated with an extensive field system of rectilinear fields and enclosures covering over 4 hectares. A Romano-British salt working site of the 2nd century AD was also identified. Here salt was evaporated from sea water in two rectangular, superimposed stone-built ovens housed in an oval building and connected with a field system which extended for over a hectare. Large quantities of pottery were recovered from the salt works and its walls, as excavated, stand up to 1m high. An early medieval settlement of two dwellings with associated irregular enclosures was also excavated and found to contain an assemblage of at least 60 vessels from 500 - 900 AD, the majority of which came from one building identified as the site of a kiln. The various excavators, surveyors and specialists included: OP Serocold, G Maynard, FM Patchett, DPS Peacock, J Manehip White, V Favell, C Thomas, and H Quinnell. Further extensive archaeological remains survive in the vicinity and are not currently included in the scheduling because they have not been formally assessed.
