LOCAL ATTRACTIONS
There are plenty of things to do and see in this part of Cornwall and Mousehole, despite it's size is home to many events and festivals. Whether you want sandy beaches or historic sites, you and your family will never be short of entertainment.
Artists come to Cornwall for nourishment drawn by its rugged beauty, the quality of light and a pace of life in which passions can run free, they find inspiration that reaches deep into their souls.
About a century ago, the painters Stanhope Forbes and Norman Garstin made the Newlyn School internationally famous. Ben Nicholson, Barbara Hepworth and Bernard Leach did the same for St Ives. Today that tradition lives on in Cornwall's many studios and galleries.
Climb the steps to Tintagel castle and you'll understand why Dickens, Tennyson and Hardy made that same pilgrimage. Wander on Bodmin Moor and you'll know why Sir John Betjeman had a life-long love affair with Cornwall. Read the works of Rosamunde Pilcher, Winston Graham or the county's own poet, John Harris, all you'll feel Cornwall's heart.
Inspiration here spills out in music, dance and theatre. Sometimes wild and dark, often amusing, always engaging, you'll find it on harbour sides, in pubs and in parks, in the grounds of great houses, on the open-air cliff-top stage of the Minack Theatre, and in the many festivals.
The Minack Theatre is a 'must see'. Just a few miles along the coast an amphitheatre and stage has been formed out of the cliff overlooking Porthcorno beech. The stunning view alone is worth seeing even without the joy of the excellent, professionally produced plays and musicals that form the year round programme. Make sure you hire out the cushion and back rest!
In the summer there are numerous beaches and coastal walks in beautiful country side all in close proximity to the village. Mousehole has it's own carnival in the summer offering various entertainment for children and adults and you may also hear the Mousehole male voice choir singing in the harbour on some evenings.
The village has many places to eat and drink throughout the day ranging from fish and chip shops, cafes, pubs and two highly regarded restaurants.
It remains, in the words of Dylan Thomas 'The most beautiful village in England'.
At Christmas time Mousehole boasts a spectacular display of lights which illuminates the whole village. This display attracts visitors from far and wide and has been regularly featured in national papers and on television. On December 23rd Mousehole celebrates "Tom Bowcock's Eve" when the famous Starry Gazey pie is served in the local pub and the evening sees the local children process through the village carrying lanterns.
Pets are allowed but please make arrangements prior to booking.
