About this deal

I use the term ‘swimming’ lightly – it is a tiny sea pool, nothing like the one in Bude, but if you just want a place to splash around on a hot day, it’s worth visiting! Gaze at the amazing Mousehole Christmas Lights Mousehole is a sweet little hilly village with cobblestones, narrow streets, and two fine pubs; it feels very safe; the winding road through it is so difficult that cars can only pass through it on their way to the next stop. What is the Mousehole on the way to Cornwall like? The town’s narrow streets have long been filled with small shops, galleries, and cafes, and the area retains much of its old-world charm. Along the inner edge of the harbor, a cluster of finely grained Lamorna granite cottages is seen huddled together. Why is mousehole famous? Mousehole is well-known for its fishing heritage, as it was previously known as Porth Enys, which translates as “port of the island.” Until the 16th century, Newlyn and Penzance were the dominant ports in Mounts Bay; it was the main port from the 13th century until the 16th century. Is Mousehole a good place to live? Mousehole, she told Cornwall Live, is still a vibrant community with a strong community, and it is busy all year long. There are a lot of opportunities in the area now that the school has a waiting list and a lot more people want to live here. Mousehole Cornwall History Newlyn residents didn’t forget how Mousehole shut them out, and there was some tension between the two settlements for years after. Penlee lifeboat disaster

He then fed it to the villagers and saved them from starvation. It’s mentioned in the children’s book The Mousehole Cat! Hole Foodsis a cafe serving breakfast, coffee and lunch, and has a beautiful view over the harbour!A beautifully illustrated book, which mingles history and legend to tell a stirring story of heroism and storms at sea and a very special cat. It’s well worth doing the walking tour to see the village and learning about its fascinating and complex history. Elaine will even tell you some interesting stories that she experienced firsthand while growing up in Mousehole! So begins this lovely, sweet, cozy and thrilling tale of Mowzer, and her human Old Tom. Life was happy and sweet in Mousehole until the one winter when the great Storm-Cat came to play in the harbor, trying to catch mice-men whenever they tried to put out to sea and go fishing. One day, Old Tom decides that he must be the one to bring fish to the starving villagers, for he has no wife or parents to mourn for him if the storm catches him, and his children are all grown. Mowzer feels much the same and, in her love for old Tom, accompanies him. But Mowzer has tamed many a wild tom cat before, and perhaps she will have a way to calm the Storm-Cat, too. If you were after a more traditional pub lunch or dinner here after the sun goes down, there are plenty of historic Mousehole pubs to choose from. Yes, mousehole is definitely worth visiting! This small town in Cornwall is absolutely charming, with its quaint streets and traditional buildings. The views out to sea are simply stunning, and there’s plenty to keep you busy, with plenty of shops, cafes and pubs to explore. The Perfect Quaint Fishing Village In Cornwall: Mousehole Harbou

The Christmas light tradition began because Mousehole can be a foreboding place in the winter, with bad weather, turbulent water, and long hours of darkness. At one point it was run by the RSPCA but it’s now run by public donations with volunteers and is a charity. The Mousehole Harbour Lights festival started off in 1963 when a local artist called Joan Gillchrest installed a string of coloured lights across both quays. Penzance is very close to Mousehole – you can easily walk there in under an hour – and it is the furthest west major town in Cornwall. Although it’s not quite as touristy as charming Mousehole, it’s a nice place to soak in local life.St Levan is a gorgeous rural parish that sits on the west coast of Cornwall and is really close to Porthcurno village and beach. An old dialect version was published in the Old Cornwall Journal, but this is how the modernised words go: In the 17th and 18th centuries, Mousehole was a hotbed for the smuggling trade. The most smuggled item in Cornwall was – would you believe it – salt, because it was heavily taxed, and regular people needed it to salt their pilchards to be able to preserve them for longer. Last outpost for the Cornish language Mousehole is located on the south coast of West Cornwall, about 3 miles or 5 kilometres from Penzance or 10 miles from Land’s End. How to get to Mousehole
