| Herodsfoot is a small village in South East Cornwall, some 4 miles South West of Liskeard, set at the meeting of four valleys whose streams join the West Looe river. The name comes from the old Cornish "Hir-Garth", " The Long Hill". John Betjeman, in his "Shell Guide to Cornwall" described Herodsfoot as "An inland Polperro in a deeply wooded valley. Slate cottages with uneven roofs, the Looe river very small...". |
