Episode 9 : Looe, Cornwall - Hermit Harbour
March. 01,2009
Legend says that tiny Looe Island in Cornwall was once visited by Jesus Christ. Could it be one of the earliest Christian sites in the country?
Legend has it that Jesus Christ himself played on the pebble beach at Looe Island (also known as St George's Island), about one mile off the south Cornwall coast near Looe. It is a story that probably originated when the island was being established as a place of pilgrimage to rival St Michael's Mount further to the southwest.
