ペラナスヌーの湖・トップ6

Reservoir with large parking lot

There is a ferry from the harbor to the Scilly Islands, which are a must-see. Otherwise there is a nice promenade.

View point of Drift Dam and Reservoir. The reservoir is the main water source for Penwith and construction was completed in 1961. Prior to the flooding of the valley for the reservoir, trees were cleared and buildings were left. Occasionally the water level drops low enough to see the remains of the buildings which were flooded.

A picturesque little place.

A great place that is occasionally admired in Rosamunde Pilcher films.

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.

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.

The harbor of Mousehole is very pleasant to walk along. A nice break from a bike ride.
