Mousehole Village

With quaint stone cottages and a picturesque harbor, Mousehole is a lovely fishing village that has a story to tell. Local fishermen exported pilchards to France as early as the 1302, making the village a major commercial center. On the 1595, the villages fortunes turned when it was attacked by Spaniard Carlos de Amesquita. Only the Keigwin Arms pub survived.

Today, the village has retained its charm. You will find many unique shops, galleries and restaurants.

Mousehole (Cornish: Porthenys) is a village and fishing port in Cornwall. It is about 4 km south of Penzance on the shore of Mount's Bay. An islet called St Clement's Isle lies about 350m offshore from the harbor entrance.

Okay for a quick visit on foot or even bicycle but I do not recommend taking a car there as there is nowhere to park and the streets are extremely narrow. I’m afraid this is a total tourist trap the same way that Saint Ives is. I would avoid it.
