Mar 01, 2009 Season 16 Episode 9 Documentary

According to local lore, Jesus Christ once played on the pebbled shores of Looe Island, also referred to as St George's Island, located approximately a mile off the southern coast of Cornwall near Looe. This tale likely emerged as the island began to be recognized as a pilgrimage site, aiming to compete with St Michael's Mount situated further southwest.
