Local Area
Mousehole (1 mile) is one of the most beautiful coastal villages in Britain and it is the classic image of a Cornish fishing village of bygone days. The village, whose name is pronounced "Mowzel", is centred on an almost circular harbour which is particularly beautiful at Christmas when Mousehole attracts visitors for the Christmas lights.
In winter, the harbour entrance is closed by sturdy wooden beams to keep the force of the sea at bay and to protect the village. In past times, the villagers have suffered the effects of winter storms on their harbour and one of these events is commemorated annually shortly before Christmas on "Tom Bawcock's Eve".
Just offshore outside the harbour is St Clement's Isle - a small rocky islet where once an ancient hermit was said to live. A few hundred yards along the coast from the village lies a huge cave which - so some people say - gives rise to the name of the village (Mouse Hole).
Land's End is the most westerly point of England and is approximately 7 miles west of Mousehole. On a clear day, the Isles of Scilly can be seen just on the horizon. Longships lighthouse is a little over a mile out to seen and six miles to the south-west is Wolf Rock Lighthouse. There is also a bar and restaurant at the site.
Minack Theatre - The remarkable Minack Theatre was constructed in the 1930's as a hobby of the late Miss Rowena Cade in the style of a Roman open air amphitheatre, cut into the edge of the granite rocks. Entertainment is held every May-September with a wide range of productions from Shakespeare to musicals. Book tickets in advance during peak season.
St. Michael's Mount is located about 7 miles east of Mousehole, a few hundred yards out to sea from the town of Marazion and is one of Cornwall's best attractions. The castle is now maintained by the National Trust. The island and castle are open to the public every weekday and most weekends in the summer and on a limited basis during the winter.
