Another great place to visit is the lovely historic  fishing  village of Mousehole. From the cottage heading in an easterly direction on the coastal path for about 2 miles it takes around 30 minutes. On the way there are views over Mounts Bay to the Lizard and St Michael's Mount. With its many winding streets lined with pretty little old fishing cottages and quaint harbour and pub its a must see! There is a small sandy beach and even a tidal swimming pool that is great for kids. Little gift shops and galleries line the pretty streets as well as cafe's and fine sea food restaurants.

Every year Mousehole hosts a fantastic Christmas Lights Display where the whole village and harbour comes alive every evening from mid December.

The main towns of Newlyn and Penzance are only a 10 minute drive away and contain all the necessary facilities including a good variety of shops, many fine restaurants and eating houses, art galleries, leisure and gymnasium centers and everything else one would require.

Both towns host numerous events throughout the year which brings in many visitors. The Newlyn fish festival is famed for its wonderful cuisine and visiting chefs showing off their culinary skills. The Golowan festival lasts for a week and has a carnival, street entertainers and a fairground on the promenade.

Also based in Penzance you will find the British International Helicopter Service and the Scillonion III passenger ferry, both offering excursions to the beautiful Isles of Scilly located 28 miles south west off Lands End.
