The fishing village of Mousehole has narrow, bustling streets filled with small shops, galleries, restaurants, and cottages built from finely grained Lamorna granite. Dylan Thomas described the village as the loveliest in England — but many Cornish people would dispute that this part of the world can even be classed as England! The village has a thriving art scene as artists come to work amid the picturesque landscape.

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.
