Mousehole is often called one of Cornwall’s prettiest fishing villages, with narrow streets and a small stone harbour just south of Penzance. The coast path runs to Lamorna one way and to Newlyn and Penzance the other, and the village has a strong sense of community and a famous Christmas lights display.

I have filmed Mousehole in summer and winter, including the seals, a crystal clear rock pool with fish, the village from above on a summer day, a winter walk around a deserted Mousehole and the Christmas lights.

When you are ready to plan a visit, my other website, Best In Cornwall, has guides covering parking, beaches, walks, where to eat and where to stay. Here are the ones for Mousehole, covering parking, things to do, beaches and wildlife, walks, eating, staying, Christmas and winter, history and planning your trip.
