Mousehole (pronounced Mowzel) is a small picturesque fishing village centred on a charming harbour.

A cave called the Mousehole which is located nearby is thought to be one explanation for the name of the village.

Mousehole is a must for visitors to Cornwall at any time of year and during December, Mousehole switches on its amazing display of Christmas lights which decorate the harbour, town and surrounding hillside.

Mousehole is formerly believed to have been known as Porthenys (translated as harbour/port with island). St Clement's Isle lies opposite the village.

 

 
Local facilities include small specialised shops and galleries with many objects of local interest.
 
There are also a number of fine pubs and restaurants.
Mousehole has picturesque narrow streets and a busy harbor.
 
The town is also noted for the Christmas lights display, which runs from mid-December to the first week of January.
