Mousehole, Fishing village in Cornwall, England
The granite houses of Mousehole form a circular pattern around a protected harbor with two substantial breakwaters safeguarding the settlement against ocean forces.
Spanish raiders in 1595 burned the entire village except for one building, the Keigwin Arms, which remains standing today as testimony to this historical event.
The winter celebration of Tom Bawcock's Eve on December 23 includes the preparation of a large fish pie, marking a traditional feast in this Cornish community.
Visitors need to park vehicles at designated areas on the outskirts of Mousehole and walk into the village center due to narrow streets and limited parking.
St Clement's Isle, located 350 meters from the harbor entrance, contains remnants of an ancient hermitage where a solitary religious figure once resided.
