The Fishstore - Mousehole

The Fishstore - Mousehole

Right in the heart of Mousehole, The Fishstore was originally a pilchard factory and is full of character. The propery comprises of 3 bedrooms and has wooden floors and beamed ceilings throughout

Mousehole is located just three miles westward around Mounts Bay from Penzance and is one of the most beautiful coastal villages in Britain, as famously regarded by the poet Dylan Thomas ‘The loveliest village in England’. It has remained largely unspoiled by the developments of the 20th Century.

The village, whose name is pronounced "Mowzel", is centred around a nearly circular harbour protected from the force of the sea coming across Mounts Bay by two sturdy breakwaters.

There still remain some fishing boats in the harbour which makes the view of the harbour peaceful and idyllic.

Just offshore outside the harbour is St Clement's Isle - a small rocky island where once an ancient hermit was said to live.

A few hundred yards along the coast from the village lies a huge cave which - so some people say - gives rise to the name of the village (Mouse Hole).
