Episode Title: Hermit Harbour - Looe, Cornwall

Air Date: 2009-03-01

Overview:

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.
