MOUSEHOLE CORNWALL | Full Tour of Mousehole, prettiest village in Cornwall
No Cornwall holiday is complete without a trip to beautiful Mousehole. A stunning village near Penzance with a beach, historic harbour and lots to see and do.
Mousehole is a captivating fishing village nestled on Cornwall's south coast, roughly 2.5 miles south of Penzance. This charming village boasts a rich history, stunning scenery, and a unique annual Christmas tradition. Here's why you should consider Mousehole for your next trip:
Mousehole Harbour is the heart of the village. Take a leisurely stroll along the harbour front, admire the colorful fishing boats bobbing in the water, and breathe in the fresh sea air. You might even spot some seabirds diving for fish or even playful seals basking on the rocks.
Immerse yourself in the local legend of the Mousehole Cat. Legend tells a tale of a heroic cat who saved the village from starvation by ridding it of a plague of mice. Every year, on December 20th, the village celebrates with a lantern procession and the illumination of a giant cat silhouette on the harbour wall.
Lace up your walking shoes and embark on a scenic coastal walk. The Mousehole to Lamorna Cove circular walk offers breathtaking views of the coastline, with opportunities to spot wildlife and hidden coves.
Explore the creative spirit of Mousehole by visiting the various art galleries scattered throughout the village. The Tyler Gallery, The Little Picture Gallery, and The Joel Gallery are just a few that showcase the work of talented local artists.
While Mousehole itself might be compact, the surrounding area offers a wealth of things to see and do:
Mousehole Harbour: As mentioned before, explore this charming harbour and soak up the traditional fishing village atmosphere. Enjoy fresh seafood at the harbourside restaurants or watch local fishermen bring in their daily catch.
St Michael's Mount: A short distance away lies St Michael's Mount, a tidal island topped with a medieval monastery. Explore the castle and gardens, soak up the panoramic views, or simply marvel at this iconic landmark. During low tide, you can even walk across the causeway to access the island.
Penlee House Gallery and Museum: Delve into the artistic and geological heritage of Cornwall at the Penlee House Gallery and Museum located in nearby Penzance. The museum houses a collection of paintings, sculptures, and minerals that offer a glimpse into Cornwall's rich history and artistic traditions.
Trewidden Garden: Immerse yourself in horticultural beauty at Trewidden Garden, another gem near Penzance. Explore the variety of themed gardens, including a Victorian fern garden, a productive kitchen garden, and a stunning woodland walk.
Take a dip in the unique Jubilee Pool, a lido (open-air pool) located in Penzance. Built in 1934, this Art Deco lido is a popular spot for swimming, especially during the summer months.
