Description
Loe Pool has attracted many rare Neartic species of Grebe and Ducks. It is separated from the sea by a beach and Loe Bar. During Autumn, especially following a hot summer there can be muddy margins that attract migrant waders. The Pool is fed by the River Cober that runs down the valley from Helston, at the top of this valley is parkland with lakes.
