Mousehole just three miles west of Penzance, is one of the most beautiful fishing villages in Britain and presents the image of the classic Cornish fishing village of bygone days, with its narrow streets and friendly local folk. West Cornwall has the most westerly point in mainland Britain (Lands End) and the most southerly (The Lizard). Being so far south, with the influence of the Gulf Stream, Mousehole benefits from a very mild climate all year round.
Ramblers come all the year round to explore the beautiful and dramatic coast line and the Coastal Path walk around the south west peninsular is one of the most beautiful in Cornwall. Beach goers will enjoy some of the most wonderful beaches in England; just visit Porthcurno, Praa Sands or St Ives (Porthminster) and for surfers there is Sennen, St Ives (Porthmeor), Godrevy or Hayle Towans – all have golden sands.
