Mousehole

Mousehole is a small fishing village which maintains its historic feeling with small fisherman cottages and narrow lanes.

A nice traditional Cornish fishing village is well worth a visit to walk around and explore. Although many galleries and shops don’t allow dogs, you will need to take turns entering and looking after the dog outside.

Mousehole at lower tide levels has beach areas within and outside the harbour walls, where you will also find a seawater pool within the rocks. Dogs are prohibited on Mousehole Harbour Beach, and outside dog restrictions are in place between 1st July and 31st August between 10 am – 6 pm.

There is a car park by the harbour, but the streets are narrow and get very busy in the summer. It is recommended to park at the larger car park on The Parade just outside Mousehole and then walk along the path by the tidal pool. There is some free car parking on the road leading down the hill from Penzance, but you will have the hill walk back.
