Talland Bay

Talland Bay (Cornish: Porth Tallan)[1] is west of the town of Looe in Cornwall.

It has also been the scene of many shipwrecks including that of a French trawler, the Marguerite, in March 1922.

Two private boats performed a dramatic rescue and all 21 people were saved.

Celebrity couple Richard Madeley and Judy Finnigan have a home in Talland Bay,[citation needed] There are several nautical measured miles around the British Isles including the mile between Talland Bay and Hannafore.

[3] The area is one of the most unspoiled sections of the south west coast and is both a designated Area of Outstanding Beauty and a Heritage Coast, but in October 2007, Caradon District Council granted planning permission for a controversial development of 40 new homes costing between £285,000 and £350,000 [4] after more than 100 local people lodged their objections.
