This barometer was originally loaned to Mousehole by Admiral Fitzroy, the founder of the Meteorological Institute. The intention was to provide data to the institute to improve weather forecasting and storm forecasting. But also to warn the fishermen of impending bad weather in an effort to reduce the loss of life. In 2009, the Meteorological Institute donated the barometer to Mousehole Port Authority.

Pronounced Mou-zall (as in the start of mouse and hall with a z), this is a picture perfect harbour village.

The narrow streets hide cafes, shops and galleries while the view across the harbour is stunning. Dylan Thomas described the village as the loveliest in England, but to many people from Cornwall, this isn't England so it just isn't true.
