Location
Mousehole is one Cornwall’s most loved harbours. Timeless and evocative of a bygone era, small streets and alleyways wind around the sandy harbour. Cliff paths lead in both directions along spectacular coastline to secret coves. Perhaps more than any other part of the county, West Cornwall embodies these qualities, blessed with stunning white powdered shell beaches and crystal clear blue water for some of the best water sports and diving in the UK.

Once referred to as “The loveliest village in England” by Dylan Thomas, Mousehole’s pretty stone cottages, fine restaurants, the famous Ship Inn, the Old Coastguard Hotel, Hole Foods Deli & Café and art galleries are clustered around the small medieval harbour.

Newlyn, just over two miles away, is a very vibrant town. Famous for both its historic and current fishing industry as well as the Newlyn School of Artists of the late 19th century. Lying on the shore of Mount’s Bay, Newlyn is one of the largest fishing ports in the UK. It lies adjacent to some of the richest fishing grounds in the Northern hemisphere and is the fulcrum of Cornwall’s fishing industry. The South West’s main fish market is in Newlyn and just opposite the harbour is good selection of excellent fish shops. Newlyn is also blessed with some great restaurants, café’s, bars, an excellent coffee shop, a traditional Cornish Ice cream shop and an independent cinema with its own restaurant.

The coastline around Newlyn & Penzance takes in some of the county’s most beautiful beaches, to include Sennen, Porthcurno & Praa Sands. The historic town of Penzance just five miles away has a wide range of shopping and schooling facilities. Penzance railway station provides direct trains to London Paddington and the town is now host to several well regarded restaurants and the recently refurbished Jubilee Pool.
