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.

If I had to describe Cornwall in three words, it would be: picturesque, colorful and clotted cream. All together I find bundled in Moushole again, one of the smallest harbor towns of Cornwall. Hence the name "Mousehole" (in German "Mausloch", pronounced rather like "Mausl") which means tiny, small or cute. And that's exactly how it is here. The harbor wall frames the boats protectively as a "U" and give the place peace and serenity. The perfect place for a relaxing break in the sun!
