Pronounced Mow-zall (as in cow and hall), this pretty harbour is unsurprisingly used frequently as a filming location.
The village itself is tiny but full of life and there are cafes if you need a pit stop.
In December 1981 the village was devastated by the loss of the Penlee Lifeboat, the Solomon Browne, which went out in treacherous seas to rescue the Union Star. Without power, the coaster was being swept towards the rugged and dangerous coastline. The entire lifeboat crew of eight were lost in the rescue attempt. Everyone in the village lost someone and it's impact is still felt today.

So cute here! Ice cream and coffee spots right on the front, you can lock your bike up near the car park easily. And, there are toilets!
